History

This tab enables you to track changes that have been made to the patch configuration.

History table

The table displays all versions of the configuration. By default, the table contains the following columns and is sorted by the Version column.

  • Version: The numerical value of the version. The first save of the configuration will be version 1. Each time the configuration is edited and saved the version value will be incremented by one. Clicking the version value will open the configuration details for that particular version.
  • Configuration name: The name of the patch configuration.
  • Save date: The date and time the configuration edit was saved.
  • Last saved by: The name of the team member who last edited this version of the configuration. If you modify a patch group that is associated with a patch configuration, that qualifies as a revision to the configuration.

  • Availability: Shows the current status of the configuration. Possible values are New, Pending, Active, Previously active, Draft, and Failed

  • Description: The comment that was provided at the time the configuration edit was saved.

Actions

  • Revert to selected version: Enables you to revert the patch configuration to an earlier version. Be sure to update the configuration description and to click Save after performing your action. The policies associated with the configuration after reverting are the latest policies. Patch groups are not included in the revert action. Whatever patch groups are included in the current patch configuration will be included in the reverted patch configuration. You cannot revert to an archived version.

Export

Enables you to export the contents of the table to a CSV file. You can choose to export all items in the table or just selected items.

The CSV file is created using ISO standards and is stored in your local Downloads folder. If you use Excel to view the file, the data can be converted to the locale of the device so that it can be viewed in a more human-readable format.

Any sorting or filtering applied to the configurations will be retained in the exported output. All columns will be included regardless of what has been selected in the Column Chooser.

Select the first column check box for the configurations you want to export. Alternatively, select the check box in the header cell to select all configurations.

Click Export to create the CSV file.
