Purpose
To have a standard process for users to push (download) or re-push apps onto terminals efficiently and effectively. This process is used:
- when a terminal is first set up.
- when new apps or upgrades to apps are available.
- when a 'failed download' error message is displayed the apps must be re-pushed.
