Make phased deployment feature "Gradually make the software available over the period of time" available to any deployment.
Make the phased deployment only feature >>
"Gradually make the software available over the period of time"
....a generic sccm feature available to ANY sccm deployment config, as it would be very useful in many rollout situations.

Allow changing Boolean logic on search Criteria in SCCM
Allow selection of Boolean logic in search criteria. Currently it automatically uses OR for second items when I require AND. Alternately, let us add multiple items in a criteria eg. Title 'Does not contain': Server 8.1 SQL would exclude any item that had ANY of those words in it.

Software Center Command Line Switch Addition for Package Support
Software Center Command Line Switch Addition
It is not currently possible to display a specific package in the same way we can display a specific application in Software Center via command line or URL command with softwarecenter:SoftwareID=
Also an option to specify a search term would be a fantastic additional feature. E.G. Launch Software Center and automatically search for all Adobe products.
This addition would make launching Software Center with a specific application, package or search term seamless if clicking a link in an email, an intranet page or customised shortcuts.
This is what a package command line might look…

Per deployment customization control of 'Required software changes...' dialog
Enable per deployment administrator control of the 'Required software changes...' notification dialog to accommodate the following user experience enhancements to more intuitively inform them about the level of importance (i.e. urgency, severity, etc.), time remaining to deadline, and whether a restart is expected:
1. Icon indicating importance (e.g. informational, warning, critical, etc.)
2. Dynamic change (with configurable threshold) of predominate colorization based on time remaining to deadline (e.g. green if deadline > 1 day, red < 1 hour, etc.)
3. Indication for expectation/probability of restart
4. Deployment templates for re-using combinations of above options (1-3).2 votes -
Add a refresh button or icon in the Software Center to refresh ConfigMgr client policies and software center panel
Add a refresh button or icon in the Software Center to refresh ConfigMgr client policies and software center panel.
This icon could, be for instance, be located in the sidebar or somewhere else.
Once the user click on the refresh button, this will:
- Run configmgr client actions like "Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle" or some others.
- Refresh the Software Center panel11 votes -
Optional buttons in Softwarecenter

Reduce the size of the icons in Software Center
Everything in Software Center is too large and the navigation menus take up too much space making it worse. On a 1080p display it's very difficult to see more then a couple rows making it difficult to search through the apps.

Ability to customize the color of the loading bar in software center
When you customize the color scheme for Software center in client settings, it does not change the loading bar directly underneath the logo for software center. Currently the default color is green.

User Based deployments in Software Center process Global Conditions the way Device Based deployments do
At the moment when an application is deployed out to a device collection, global conditions can be utilized to limit applications seen by the end user. I use this for a lot of customers whom want to make applications versions visible on (lets say) 1709, as they are still working on latter versions for the next iteration of Windows. This works really well, and it means users never see certain applications if they are not relevant, however this only seems to work for Device collection deployments.
At present if you want to take advantage of the email approval model you…

application group - software center details
Application Group deployment doesn't return details of the deployment.
For example, if i have a group with 3 applications which total size exceeds the cache limit, software center doesn't report the usual message "there's no space...." but returns "exit code 0". After the next "Application Evaluation Cycle", it display "exit code 1" after few seconds. I had to empty the client cache.Another situation: if one of the application setup fails, software center returns "exit code 1" only.
I think it would be better to report the application name and its exit code when application group returns an error

Dynamic button change based on selection for when changes are applied in 'Required software changes…' dialog
To verify for the user that the option they have chosen for when changes will be applied to their system ('Right now (recommended)', 'Outside my business hours', or 'Snooze and remind me:'), customization of the confirmation button would be ideal, for example:
• If 'Right now (recommended)' is selected, the button text would read 'Install'
• If 'Outside my business hours' is selected, the button text would read 'After Hours'
• If ''Snooze and remind me:' is selected, the button text would read 'Snooze'
• If 'Restart my computer automatically if selected, the button color changes1 vote -
Support for customization of notification text in 'Required software changes…' dialog
The current 'Required software changes…' dialog only informs the user that 'The change will be applied after <deadline date> at <deadline time>, or you can apply the changes:…'. It would more empower the user for making a smarter decision when choosing to apply changes 'Right now (recommended)', 'Outside my business hours', or 'Snooze and remind me:' if the following additional information is provided on a per deployment basis:
1. Estimated install time
2. Indication of what apps will close
3. Indication if a restart is expected
4. Customization of notification text (i.e. ability for administrator to specify exact wording)1 vote -

Bug: Application description text locale changing.

Software Center Maintenance TAB
Have a maintenance TAB in Software Center where repeatable tasks can be published and executed without the deployment status features, e.g. where a deployment is run and the status changes to Installed.
An example of a maintenance task could be running SCCM client actions in command line format but presented to the user in a friendly manner, this would make sense as Software Center has become the focus for SCCM.
Another example could be to installed printers again using command line options in a user friendly format. This is very similar to the features that are offered by Mac Self…

Consolidate control panel functions into Software Center
As Windows 10 moves to Settings rather than Control Panel, the features and functions of the Configuration Manager Control Panel get harder to access and more antiquated compared to Software Center, plus they give two very different places to go to manage the client.
Why not completely consolidate the current Control Panel functionality into Software Center via the Options section or other area. If there are concerns about user permissions, put them behind a UAC lock.
