This article is to help familiarize users with the new features of software center from SCCM after the new user interface is rolled out and enabled.

For users that utilize System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and the Software Center to install and request software to be installed on your workstation, a new update to the User Interface is coming that will help make the catalog more streamlined and easier to use.

One of the key features of the new update is the ability to see both Device Deployed and User Deployed software all from within the Software Center without the need to visit the Application Catalog in the browser (https://sccmapps.net.ucf.edu). The Application Catalog website will still be available for browsing after the update is in place and still required Internet Explorer to function properly.

Below is a list of just a few of the features you can expect to find after the update is rolled out.

 

Client and Device Installed Software merged into Installation Status

Prior to this update, there was a tab named Installed Software. This tab is no longer visible on the new client. Instead the information related to installed software is merged into the Installation Status tab.

 

New tabs for Updates and Operating Systems

Updates and Task Sequences were all listed under the Applications tab. This has now been properly split as two new tabs for Updates and Operating Systems have been added.

 

Installing multiple updates

Multiple updates can now be selected for installation or by using the Install All button all updates can be installed in one single click.

  

Applications List view

In older versions the applications tab only supported a tile view – although this is nice it can be rather annoying in the scenario where you have a large set of applications. You can now toggle between list view and tile view.
