Originally created by @jwheel25 on GitHub.

In order to give power back to the end user, we want to present a list of applications for users to select but also some apps that are required to install.

E.g.:

Optional apps: Microsoft Office, GarageBand, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Adobe Reader
Required apps: Crowdstrike, Tenable, Jamf Connect

The reason being that some optional applications take a long time to install (Microsoft office). We want to give users the power to select usable applications before login because they are more apt to leave the machine on at enrollment.

You can use Self Service (or Self Service plus). You could create a category of recommended apps for this purpose and open Self Service to that particular screen so it feels like one continuous part of the workflow.
