To Do list

Available from 9.2.13. The To Do list provides you with information about items that might require your action including failed imports of data, availability of a new version of BigFix Inventory or the need to configure a connection to VM managers.

To Do items

The number of To Do items is indicated by the number that is displayed on the To Do icon . It is shown until the appropriate action is undertaken, which can be done if you are an Administrator or have the required permissions. Otherwise, you are advised to contact the BigFix Inventory Administrator to undertake the action for you. To update the To Do List, refresh the BigFix Inventory user interface.
