Package Settings

Category

You can add the package to a category, an organizational component that allows you to group the package in Jamf Pro. Before you can add a package to a category, you must add the category to Jamf Pro.

Priority

You can choose a priority for deploying or uninstalling the package. Consider the following when configuring priority:

• Packages with higher priority install first.
• Package priority defaults to "10".
• A package with a priority of "1" is deployed or uninstalled before other packages.
• Multiple packages with the same priority install in alphabetical order based on the package name.

Fill User Templates (FUT)

You can fill user templates with the contents of the home directory in the package's Users folder. This setting applies to DMGs only.

Fill Existing User Home Directories (FEU)

You can fill existing user home directories with the contents of the home directory in the package’s Users folder. This setting applies to DMGs only.

Allow Package to be Uninstalled

You can allow the package to be uninstalled. You must have pre-existing index information before you can uninstall the package.

Require Restart

You can specify whether computers must be restarted after installing the package.

Operating System requirements

You can specify operating system and architecture type requirements for deploying the package. For example, if you enter "14.3.1", packages are only installed on computers with macOS 14.3.1.

Install Only if Available in Software Update

You can choose to install the package only if there is an available update. The display name of the package must match the name in the command-line version of the Software Update. This setting applies to PKGs only.
