Vendors

Vendors in OneDeploy let you maintain a standard list of software and hardware suppliers that can be reused throughout the platform.

You can apply Vendors to:

• Software Packages
• Device Models

When creating a Software Package for deployment, or defining a particular model of computer, a Vendor must be selected. Setting up Vendors first helps keep your Library organised and consistent.

Viewing Vendors

To view your current Vendor list:

1. In the left navigation pane, expand Definitions
2. Select Vendors

The existing Vendors are displayed in a list.  

Adding a New Vendor

To add a Vendor:

1. Go to Definitions > Vendors
2. Click the + icon in the column heading
3. Enter the Vendor name
4. Click the Save icon to confirm

The Vendor will now be available for selection when creating Software Packages or Device Models.

Hint: Adding Vendors While Creating Software

You can also create a Vendor while adding a new Software item.

1. When creating Software, locate the Vendor field
2. Click the + icon on the Vendor line
3. Enter the Vendor details and save

Any Vendor added here is automatically included in your main Vendor list under Definitions > Vendors.

Common Questions

Do I need to create Vendors before adding Software Packages?

Yes — a Vendor must be selected when creating Software Packages, so it’s recommended to create items in your Vendor list first.

Can Vendors be reused across different items?

Yes — the same Vendor can be applied to multiple Software Packages and Device Models.
