Fixlet / Task Tagging

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

We’d like to see some type of tags (BigFix Properties? - Checkboxes?) implemented for every fixlet / task that would allow us to quickly filter on those tags . We need to be able to quickly find all fixlets / Tasks that can:

Run on a certain OS

Pertain to a certain OS

Pertain to a certain Software Application

Were superseded.

And any combination of the above with the ability to generate (web) reports based on the above.

While the search feature is great and gives us some of the functionality, it’s difficult to find all the patches for a given system / application and report on them. A good example of this is MS09-035 or any of the Office / SQL patches.

For custom fixlets / tasks, ideally, selecting those checkboxes would also build the relevance into the fixlet / task.

I would love this as well. I’m often wishing there was an OS filter for the fixlets but there isn’t… :frowning:

I agree this would be very useful.

I second this. It would be a very helpful addition for baselines.
