Introduction to Packages
Packages Page
To view all packages in PDQ Connect, select the Packages tab from the side navigation menu.
Create Folder: This allows you to organize packages by grouping them into folders for easier management and navigation.
In the left-side pane, there are two prebuilt folders: My Packages and PDQ packages.
The My Packages folder displays all of your custom packages by default. You can organize your packages by creating additional folders and assigning both PDQ and custom packages to those folders.
The PDQ packages folder contains PDQ prebuilt packages organized into folders by category to make browsing easier. These folders cannot be modified or managed.
Create Package: Used to build a new custom package from scratch. To learn more about creating custom packages with PDQ Connect, see Creating Custom Packages with PDQ Connect.
Packages List: All available pre-built and custom packages can be found in the Packages List.
Search Field: Use the Search Field to quickly filter the list of items on the current page. All items that meet the search criteria will be displayed in the list.
Filter: Select the appropriate Column and Operator, then enter the desired Value to filter what is displayed on the current page. Additional Filters can be applied by selecting Add filter.
Rows Per Page: Select the number of rows to be displayed (up to 100) on each page.
Display Options
Columns: Select Columns to display a list of available columns to enable or disable. Columns can be searched using the Find Column field. Toggle the switch for a column to enable or disable it or select Hide All / Show All to hide or display all available columns.
Density: Select Compact, Standard, or Comfortable to configure how the rows of a page are displayed. Selecting Compact will make the rows smaller, while selecting Comfortable will make the rows larger. The default density setting is Standard.
Actions: Select the device(s) using the checkbox for the action you want to perform. Then choose Share with tenants, Unshare from tenants, Deploy, Duplicate, Move, or Delete.
Select only custom package(s) to Share with tenants. This allows you to share package(s) with other tenants by choosing All tenants (including future tenants) or Specific tenants. Use Unshare from tenants to reverse the action.
Selecting the Deploy button opens the Deploy Packages menu, where you can search for packages and devices to create a new deployment. If you select the checkbox for one or more packages before clicking Deploy, those packages will automatically populate the package search field.
Duplicate creates a copy of the selected package, which can be used as a template or modified without affecting the original package.
Move allows you to move a package to a different folder for better organization.
