Read this guide for an introduction to the WebUI tools, concepts, and terminology.
- 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.

  - Creating Custom Content
    Use the Custom Content Wizard screen to create custom content.
  - Editing Custom Content
    Use the Edit Task screen to edit custom content.
- 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.
- 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.
