Glimpses

The Library Item page displays glimpses to the left of the assigned Blueprint information in each Library Item card. Glimpses help provide insight into how you’ve configured the availability and enforcement options for a Library Item.

Continuously Enforce

Indicates that the Library Item is set to install and continuously enforce.

Self Service

Indicates that the Library Item is offered in Self Service.

Install Once

Indicates that the Library Item is set to install once per device.

Update Only

Indicates that the Library Item is set to update if it is already installed, but will not install the application on its own.

​
Library Item Duplication

Most Library Items can be easily duplicated to create a new item with the same configurations and assets, such as installer packages and scripts. However, this does not apply to Bookmarks, Liftoff, and SCEP. You can duplicate from the Library list or from an open Library Item.

​

2

Access Library Item Menu

The first “Library Item Created” activity entry for the duplicate Library Item will have details containing which Library Item it was duplicated from.

​
Assigning Duplicated Self-Conflicting Library Items to One Blueprint

If duplicates of a specific Auto App, App Store App, or Managed OS Library Item need to be assigned to the same Blueprint, there are several prerequisites that need to be fulfilled.

​
Prerequisites

  • The duplicated Library Item needs a Label to make it unique.
  • The Blueprint must use the Advanced View for the Assignment Maps. For more information about the Advanced View, please see the Advanced View section of the Creating a Blueprint.

​
Self-Conflicting Library Item icon

When two Auto App, App Store App, or Managed OS Library Items for the same app or managed OS configuration are assigned on the same Blueprint, they are self-conflicting with each other. Each affected Library Item tile shows the Self-Conflicting Library Item icon in the Blueprint Assignment Map view (stacked cards with a slash). Hover the icon to read how assignment is resolved for that item.
Blueprint Assignment Map with Library Item tiles showing the Self-Conflicting Library Item icon and tooltip
The hover text follows this pattern. In the product, type name is replaced with the name of that Library Item type (for example, Auto App, App Store App, or Managed OS). For how those types are organized in the Library UI, see Library Sections. App Store App tooltips also include that app’s display name.
Only one type name Library Item may be assigned per device for the same app or managed OS configuration. Devices which qualify for more than one will receive whichever is scoped to them last (farthest right) on the map.

​
Create Assignment Logic

You add a branch in the Blueprint Assignment Map so the duplicate is used only under the conditions you define, such as a second 1Password 8 Auto App Library Item for New Hire devices while the original stays on the main path, or a second Managed OS Library Item scoped to a different device group.
1

Open Blueprint

Go to Blueprints and open the Blueprint you want to configure.
2

Edit assignments

Select Edit assignments.
3

Add conditional block and define the conditionals

Add a conditional block and define the conditionals (for example, Tags contain one of New Hire). See Using Conditional Logic in Blueprints for detail.
4

Place Library Items

Drag the duplicated Library Item from the Library Item Bank onto the branch that matches those conditions, and drag the original Auto App, App Store App, or Managed OS Library Item onto the else path or your default branch so each device group gets the correct build.

Save the Blueprint

Click Save.

2

Choose Assignment Map

Click Assign and choose the appropriate Assignment Map.
3
