This page is in Beta and is subject to change

Here is what you want to see
When you select a client from the client list the first thing you will want to view is the overall patch status of your agent. This is the quickest way to see how well your patching services are doing.

Clients and Agents Tab (Agent View)
The agent view is much like the client view but focuses on just the agent selected. Each agent can have different settings from the client. In this view you will see a chart of available updates by category and a list of all patches and hotfixes the agent is reporting.
