Self Service contains several applications, helpful tasks, and other tools. They are listed by category and the categories serve as a filter to help find the application you need.
Some applications or policies may appear in multiple categories. We will review the various categories below.
All Category
When opening Self Service, the application starts in the "All" category – this lists everything except Bookmarks.
Bookmarks Category
Our "Bookmarks" is listed at the top, but is not the default category. It lists several helpful links for our customers, including links to open a support ticket, start a support chat session, look at our wiki and more.
Featured Category
The "Featured" category lists the standard set of applications we install for our customers. Jamf Check-in is particularly helpful as it runs a quick scan of your computer so our computer support team can have the latest details about your computer when assisting you.
Developer Category
Our "Developer" category lists tools specific to customers that need access to data-analysis or development software.

Monthly Updates
LAITS sends updates for our standard set of software every month.

You will see a number badge next to the Self Service app. This means you have pending updates. It is best for customers to update themselves to avoid unwanted interruptions.
