- 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.
