Disabling Content within a Group

You can disable content items from the Groups page as well as the content pages. Disabled content moves to the bottom of the list and is noted with a disabled status icon. Disable content to prevent it from being deployed.

Disabling content within the Vulnerabilities view also disables it on all content pages.

From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
From the View list, select Vulnerabilities.
Select a group from the Group Browser.
If necessary, define filter criteria and click Update View.
Select one or more content items that you want to disable.
If you select the Select All check box, all content visible on the page is selected. However, you can select all available content by clicking the Select All link.
Click Disable.
If you disable a content item that's already been cached, the package will not be updated if a new version of the content item is released.

The selected content is disabled.

Enabling Content within a Group

After disabling a content item, re-enable it for deployment availability. You can re-enable content from the Vulnerability view regardless of where it was disabled. Enabled content is noted with an enabled status icon.

Re-enabling a content item from the Vulnerabilities also re-enables it on all content pages.

From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
From the View list, select Vulnerabilities.
Select a group from the Group Browser.
If necessary, define filter criteria and click Update View.

Click Enable.
The selected content is re-enabled.

Updating the Groups Cache

From the Vulnerabilities view, you can update the cache for selected content items. Updating the cache for content items downloads the packages (or the scripts that will download the packages) associated with those items so you can deploy them immediately.

You can update the cache for content from the Vulnerabilities view, not just other content pages.

From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
From the View list, select Vulnerabilities.
From the directory tree, select the group with applicable vulnerabilities that you want to cache.
If necessary, designate filter criteria for the desired content and click Update View.
Select the check boxes associated with the content you want to cache.
Click Update Cache.
The Warning dialog opens, informing you that the update request and this action may take an extended period of time.
The cache will not be updated for disabled content items that have had a new version released.
Click OK.
The selected content begins caching.

Deploying Selected Content (Vulnerabilities View)

Within Ivanti Endpoint Security, content can be deployed from a number of pages, including the Groups page Vulnerabilities view. When deploying from this page, the Deployment Wizard is pre-configured to deploy your selected content to the selected group.

For additional information, refer to About Deployments.

From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
From the View list, select Vulnerabilities.
From the Group Browser, select the group you want to deploy content to.
