Patch on BigFix UI
The Patch Overview dashboard gives you a consolidated, risk-prioritized view of missing patches and vulnerable devices across your environment, with drill-down navigation into Fixlets, Devices, and Deployments.
- Get started with Patch
  Patch in the BigFix UI has two entry points: the Fixlet explorer under Explore, where you find the patches that apply to your devices and deploy them, and the Patch dashboard under Resolve, which gives you a risk-prioritized overview of what is outstanding.
- Patch Dashboard
  Patch in the BigFix UI provides a fully integrated patch management experience in the Resolve menu, giving IT administrators and patch managers a single, risk-prioritized view of missing patches and vulnerable devices without requiring the BES Console.
- Patch Compliance Report
  The Patch Compliance Report shows the update health of your environment by tracking, for every applicable patch, how many of the targeted devices have been successfully remediated. Use it to isolate outstanding vulnerabilities and to produce audit-ready evidence of patch compliance.

Troubleshooting Patch Dashboard

Understand these common issues and known considerations so that you can effectively troubleshoot the Patch Dashboard Overview page.

Table 1. Common Patch Dashboard issues
Topic	Issue	Causes	Resolutions
Redirect Mismatch / Count Discrepancies	Selecting a KPI card or widget redirects to the corresponding Explorer list, but the count shown there differs slightly from the count shown on the dashboard.	A Fixlet referenced by the dashboard was updated or removed on the backend after the dashboard data was last calculated.	Treat this as expected behavior rather than a defect. Use the Explorer list as the authoritative, real-time count.
Deployment Backlog Count Changes Unexpectedly	The Deployment Backlog card's count changes even though no deployments were added or completed.	A Fixlet referenced by one of the counted deployments was deleted on the BigFix server, so deployments that reference it are no longer counted.	Treat this as expected BigFix behavior rather than a defect of the dashboard.
Fixlets by Severity Chart Groups Some Severities Together	The Fixlets by Severity donut chart shows only 5 color slices, and severities such as Critical and High appear combined instead of as separate slices.	The chart groups multiple severities into 5 core color slices because of UI color palette constraints.	Select the Data Table icon on the widget to view the exact, ungrouped count for every individual severity level.
