WebUI User's Guide
Read this guide for an introduction to the WebUI tools, concepts, and terminology.
- Welcome
  Welcome to BigFix WebUI. The WebUI delivers a powerful set of functions for BigFix operators. It simplifies BigFix workflow, speeds access to data, and improves flexibility, visibility, and performance.
- Meet the WebUI
  Take a quick tour of the WebUI screens, controls, and workflow.
- Get Started with Devices
  Use the Device screens to view and manage all the devices in your environment as determined by your permission levels. You can find specific devices, access device documents, select devices for deployment, generate and export device reports and do much more.
- Get Started with Patches
  Use the Patch screens to list patches, find specific patches, and view detailed patch information including known issues, vulnerable devices, and deployments.
- Get Started with Patch Policy
  A patch policy is a set of criteria that defines a patch list; that is, a collection of Fixlets that meet the patching criteria of a specific set of endpoints.
- Get Started with Software
  A BigFix software package is the collection of Fixlets used to install software on a device. The package includes the installation files, the Fixlets that install them, and information about the package itself.
- Get Started with Custom Content
  Use the Custom Content pages to view custom content, edit tasks, and view related information, including applicable devices and deployments.
- Get Started with BigFix Query
  Use the BigFix Query feature to retrieve data from endpoints through a dedicated query channel, where the memory available on each Relay minimizes the impact to normal BigFix processing.
- Take Action: The Deploy Sequence
  To deploy means to dispatch content to one or more endpoints for execution, for example, to update a patch, install software, or restart a machine.
- Get Started with Deployments
  Use the Deployment views to monitor and verify completion of BigFix deployments.
- Get Started with the Content App
  Use the Content App to work with Fixlets, tasks, and baselines on the BigFix sites. Search, filter, and deploy content using standard WebUI tools.
- Getting Started with the Modern Client Management
  This section introduces the Modern Client Management (MCM) concepts, terminology, and explains how to get started with using the feature.

    - Prestage an Application
      Learn how to prestage an application in the MDM server that can be deployed to all endpoints on enrollment.
  - Enroll devices
    You must enroll your devices to manage them with BigFix MDM. BigFix MDM servers interact with the enrolled devices through APIs and based on the MDM policies applied on the devices.
  - Manage MDM devices
    After Windows and macOS devices are enrolled, the devices report to BigFix as MDM devices, and they are listed on the BigFix WebUI Devices page. Use the MDM application in the WebUI to view, manage, and control these Windows and macOS devices and policies.
  - Unenroll devices
    After unenrolling from MDM, you can no longer manage the device by BigFix. MDM policies become ineffective on the unenrolled devices.
