WebUI User's Guide

- Welcome
- Meet the WebUI
  Take a quick tour of the WebUI screens, controls, and workflow.
  - Overview Page
    The WebUI Overview provides a summary of your environment. Its interactive charts and rich set of links make it easy to move quickly to areas that require immediate attention.
  - Navigation Bar
    Use the navigation bar to access the Overview, Device, and Deployment screens as well as to access different applications under Apps. Use the controls in the filter panel to refine list results.
  - List Views
    List views show your BigFix environment in directory form: a flexible, searchable index of devices, deployments, and content.
  - Document Views
    The WebUI’s document views present detailed information about a particular device, deployment, or piece of content. Use document navigation links to drill down into the data on associated views. The diagram shows a patch document.
  - Filters and Search Tools
    Use the WebUI filters to reduce a long list to a short list of specific items.
  - Text Search
    Use a text search to find items based on words or characters they contain. For example, search the Device list for 2 to find every device with the character 2 in its name.
  - List Controls
    Sort a list, adjust the number and appearance of list items, and move between pages with the list view controls.
  - Select All
    The Select All check box selects or clears every item on a page.
  - Permissions and Their Effects
    The elements that are shown on a WebUI screen reflect the permission levels of the user, and the device, site, and group assignments set for them by the BigFix administrator.
  - WebUI Workflow and Deploy Sequence
    To deploy means to dispatch content to one or more endpoints for execution. You can start a deployment two ways: by selecting content and targeting one or more devices, or by selecting devices and targeting the content that you want to deploy.
- 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
- Get Started with Patch Policy
- Get Started with Software
- Get Started with 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
- Get Started with 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.
