The Deployments and Tasks View

The Deployments and Tasks view is similar to the Deployments and Tasks page because it lists pending, active, and completed deployments or tasks. However, unlike the Deployments and Tasks page (which lists all deployments), this view only lists the deployments that apply to the selected group. Additionally, you can use this view to manage and create deployments.

This view does not display the deployments and tasks for each member; only the group’s assigned deployments.

The Deployments and Tasks View Toolbar

This toolbar contains buttons that offer functionality related to the management and creation of deployments. Selection of list items associated with deployments may be necessary to use some buttons.

The following table describes the Deployments and Tasks view toolbar.

Button	Function
Enable	Enables the selected disabled deployment or task. For additional information, refer to Enabling Group Deployments.
Disable	Disables the selected enabled deployment or tasks. For additional information, refer to Deleting Group Deployments.
Abort	Cancels the selected deployment or tasks for any endpoints that are yet to receive the deployment. For additional information, refer to Aborting Group Deployments.
Delete	Removes the deployment or tasks from Ivanti Patch and Remediation. For additional information, refer to Deleting Group Deployments.
Deploy...	Deploys the selected packages. For additional information, refer to Deploying Content (Deployments and Tasks View).
Export	Exports the page data to a comma-separated value (.csv) file. For additional information, refer to Exporting Data. Important: The Enhanced Security Configuration feature for Internet Explorer suppresses export functionality and must be disabled to export data successfully. Pop- up blockers in Internet Explorer or other supported browsers may also suppress export functionality and should be disabled.
Options (menu)	Opens the Options menu. For additional information, refer to The Options Menu.

The Deployments and Tasks View List

This list itemizes all deployments and deployment details applicable to the selected group.

View the Deployments and Tasks View list from the Groups page. The following table describes each Deployments and Tasks View list columns.

Column	Icon	Description
Name	N/A	The name of the deployment.
Scheduled Date	N/A	The date and time the deployment was created.
Number of Successful Endpoints		The total number of endpoints and groups that finished the deployment successfully.
Number of Failed Endpoints		The total number of endpoints and groups that finished the deployment unsuccessfully.
Number of Endpoints Assigned to the Deployment		The total number of endpoints and groups that are assigned to the deployment.
Number of In Progress Endpoints		The total number of endpoints and groups that are receiving the deployment. If you deploy to a group using Agent Local Time, the deployment remains in progress until all time zones have passed. This behavior ensures any endpoints added to the group following deployment start also receive content. This behavior does not occur when using Agent UTC Time.
Total Not Deployed		The total number of endpoints and groups that were excluded from the deployment (because the package was already applied, not applicable, or marked Do Not Patch).
Number of Endpoints That Have Completed the Deployment		The total number of endpoints and groups that finished the deployment.
The Percentage of Completed Endpoints		The percentage of endpoints and groups that finished the deployment. Percentage = [Total Finished endpoints / Total Assigned endpoints]

   • Threat Level
   • Known Active Exploits in the Wild
