  • Fixed or Completed – The deployment succeeded (on this device).
  • Failed – The deployment failed (on this device).
  • Pending Restart – Eventual success is implied.
  • Not Relevant – The action is not relevant to this device.
  • Running
  • Evaluating
  • Pending Download
Software deployments might have an associated log file. This log can be viewed in the Device Results screen. The presence of a viewable log file is denoted by an icon. Note that log files are only available for software deployments.Image of the Device Results screen highlighting the log icon for software deployments.
