To bring your own products and use them, you can follow these steps:
- Define your product: Identify the software platform or application that you want to manage using Fleet Application Management. This product could be a custom application developed in-house or a third-party software product.
- Create a product: After you identify your product, you can create a corresponding product entry in Fleet Application Management. This step involves providing details such as the product name and version, and any other relevant information.
