- Welcome
  Welcome to BigFix WebUI. The WebUI delivers a powerful set of functions for BigFix operators. It simplifies BigFix workflows, speeds access to data, and improves flexibility, visibility, and performance.
- Meet the WebUI
  Take a quick tour of the WebUI screens, controls, and workflow.
- Get Started with Devices
  Use the Device screens to view and manage all the devices in your environment as determined by your permission levels. You can find specific devices, access device documents, select devices for deployment, generate and export device reports and do much more.
- Get Started with Patch
  Use the Patch screens to list patches, find specific patches, and view detailed patch information including known issues, vulnerable devices, and deployments.
- Get Started with Patch Policy
  A patch policy is a set of criteria that defines a patch list; that is, a collection of Fixlets that meet the patching criteria of a specific set of endpoints.
- Get started with IVR
  Use the Insights for Vulnerability Remediation (IVR) application to view a list of all the vulnerabilities, remediate vulnerabilities and create customized IVR reports.
- Get Started with Software
  A BigFix software package is the collection of Fixlets used to install software on a device. The package includes the installation files, the Fixlets that install them, and information about the package itself.
- Get Started with Custom Content
  Use the Custom Content pages to view custom content, edit tasks, and view related information, including applicable devices and deployments.
- Get Started with BigFix Query
  Use the BigFix Query feature to retrieve data from endpoints through a dedicated query channel, where the memory available on each Relay minimizes the impact to normal BigFix processing.
  - Running a sample query
    System queries are sample queries that are marked with the BigFix icon. As Content Creators, you can load, hide, delete, and reload sample queries in operator sites.
  - Building a query
    Working with local/custom queries. The queries created by Content Creators are local/custom queries and are marked with the operator icon. Content Creators can create, load, run, hide, delete, and reload local queries in their operator sites.
    - Untitled tab
      This is the initial view when you log in to the Query app. When no query is selected, the tab in the Create or edit Query section is displayed as Untitled tab. When you select a saved query, this tab displays the title of the selected Query.
    - Build relevance
      As a Content Creator, you can build Relevance expressions with just few clicks through the Build relevance tab in the Query app.
    - Find relevance
      From the Find relevance tab, you can fetch the Relevance content from BES server. Master Operators/Content Creators can search for the properties or fixlets and tasks from the BES server with the key words.
  - Managing parameters in queries
    As a Content Creator, you can add parameters to a query to customize it at run time. Operators are prompted to assign values to the parameters when they run the query, but they cannot see the Relevance expression.
- Take Action: The Deploy Sequence
  To deploy means to dispatch content such as applications, modules, updates, and patches to one or more endpoints. For example, by deploying a software, you install the software in the targeted endpoints. BigFix WebUI enables you to configure the content and the target devises to create a deployment and monitor the deployment status. The work flow including all the steps, processes, and activities that are required to create a deployment is collectively called as the Deploy Sequence.
- Get Started with Deployments
  Use the Deployment views to monitor and verify completion of BigFix deployments.
- Get Started with the Content App
  Use the Content App to work with Fixlets, tasks, and baselines on the BigFix sites. Search, filter, and deploy content using standard WebUI tools.
- Get Started with Extensions Management Application
  BigFix Extension Management application provides you the possibility to extend WebUI features beyond what is delivered in the products that you are currently entitled to. You can address specific use cases that are not currently fulfilled by the product by adding ad-hoc extensions to WebUI.
- Modern Client Management and BigFix Mobile
  This section guides you through BigFix Modern Client Management (MCM) and BigFix Mobile to understand the MCM concepts, terminologies, features, and functionality. You can find detailed instructions for managing the complete lifecycle of your MDM managed endpoints here.

Find relevance

From the Find relevance tab, you can fetch the Relevance content from BES server. Master Operators/Content Creators can search for the properties or fixlets and tasks from the BES server with the key words.

Important: Web reports must be up and running to view and work with Find relevance.

Note: Depending on your device resolution, the layout of the Query tabs differs. Refer to the link to find more information on supported resolutions.

To find the relevance, do the following:

In the Query editor, go to Find relevance tab.
Select Properties or Fixlets and Tasks.
Select a Site from the dropdown list. By default, the site is set to BES Support. The search includes the custom sites.

Note: The sites available in the drop down are all the available external BigFix sites the Content Creator is entitled to see, plus the ActionSite if the operator is a Master Operator.
Enter any keyword in the search box and press Enter to see the results. All matching Fixlets and Tasks or Properties (as selected) along with the Relevance statements appear in a result set with the specified string highlighted.
To see the Relevance preview, click the associated row.
You can also copy the Relevance statement from the Relevance preview text box and paste it in the Untitled tab in the Query editor to save as a new query or run the query.

Note: In case a property belongs to an analysis, the Name column for Properties is formatted in the following way: (name_of_the_analysis) name_of_the_property. In other cases, it is just the name of the property. For Fixlets and Tasks it is always the name of the fixlet/task.
