Library Overview

The Library inside your Kandji account is where you can curate, create, and select items that can be added to any Blueprint.

Library Interface Overview

Clicking one of the Library Item filters will allow you to view all Library Items or a single type of Library Item.
Use the Search menu to search the Library for a specific item.
Clicking on any of the drop-down menus will filter all results.
Click Add Library Item at the top right of the Library to add a new Library Item.
Click the Sync App Store Apps icon to pull any recent changes to Apps and Books.

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 App Store Apps, Bookmarks, Liftoff, and SCEP.

To duplicate a Library Item, click on the Library Item in the Library, and then:

Click the ellipses next to the Library Item name
Click Duplicate.
Click Yes, duplicate to confirm duplication.
Edit the Title, Label, and Blueprint Assignment as appropriate. If the title is editable, (COPY) will be appended to it by default. Otherwise, it will be added to the Label.

The Activity timeline for each Library Item shows duplication events. The source Library Item will have an entry that says "Library Item Duplicated" with details including which Library Item it was duplicated to. The first "Library Item Created" activity entry for the duplicate Library Item will have details containing which Library Item it was duplicated from.

App Blocking

Kandji allows you to block specific applications from being opened on enrolled Mac computers using the App Blocking Library Item.

Refer to Application Blocking to learn more.

App Store Apps

Apps from the App Store are available to be added to Kandji. When you add licenses to Kandji from within Apple Business Manager, that app will show as available in this section. You can see which device type the app is made for at the bottom of the app, or you can filter by device type at the top of the Library page. You can also initiate a sync with your Apple Business Manager account by clicking Sync App Store Apps button next to the Add Library Item button near the top right of the page.

Refer to Configure Apps and Books to learn more about Apple Business Manager Apps and Books support within Kandji.

Custom Printers are available in your Library. Install and setup printers and printer drivers using the Kandji agent. Choose to have the agent continuously enforce printers to verify their settings. Unmatched settings will be remediated automatically.

For Custom Apps, Custom Scripts, and Custom Printers, you can upload an icon next to the title. PNG, JPG, and ICNS are the recommended file types when utilizing this feature.
