The app watchlist is a list of apps that trigger notifications to the administrator when users install them on a device. For example, if Shazam's applicationID was added to your watchlist, you could set an email notification to notify the administrator if the app is installed.

To open the app watchlist, navigate to Policies > Security > App watchlist in Jamf Security Cloud.

You can also add whole categories of applications to the watchlist, for example, Cloud and file storage.

Apps that fit into a watchlist category, but are considered business critical, can be given an exemption. For example, all cloud storage apps could be added to the watchlist, but an exception could be made for Microsoft OneDrive.
