Requirements for Software

I noticed that some software requires other pieces of software to be installed before it can be installed, is there a way to tie it together? Otherwise I have to wait to deploy the software and find what is required for it and then deploy that piece. I know application manager creates required pieces in MECM automatically for a software but its tough to know what is needed for which software, especially if you have a lot. Some way of identifying what it is for which software or auto deploying it with that software would be nice.

    Like you mentioned we are automatically installing required dependencies, we have implemented a change on detection rule logic that will help on dependency application installations (we didn't always detect newer dependency app version that already existed in device).

    But another point from this idea is to show in AM UI what dependencies applications have. That we will implement in future.

    I see that it is set to autoinstall but i have had issues with these dependencies installing.
