Select machine, then multiple fixlets, then patch

(imported topic written by rharmer91)

Currently, if you select a machine, then select multiple relevant fixlets for that machine, right click and take the default action, you will need to re-select the machine that you want to take the default action on.

However…

If you select a fixlet, select multiple machines, and take the default action, those multiple machines will auto-populate and you don’t have to hunt for the machines (still need to highlight them).

It would be nice if you did this consistantly.

Hey Rich,

I will file this request. This behavior has changed multiple times in previous versions because of customer requests, which I think is why you see slightly different behavior in these different situations.

As long as you don’t file it in the waste basket :slight_smile:

My admins are still complaining about having to re-select the machine.

Hi Rich,

Note that we implemented this in BigFix 7.0 so that it works the way you requested… and look what trouble it caused us:

Hopefully your folks will be happy with 7.0. :slight_smile:
