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.


Image of the Content App screen.
Note:
  • The sites listed in the Content App depends on the sites subscribed and the permissions given to the logged in user.
  • It also lists the sites that are not yet associated with a WebUI application.

New sites, new applications, and apps with new features are highlighted in the Featured Content section. Click the tiles in the WebUI Apps section to open WebUI applications. Operators see sites on the Content application's white list of permissible sites. Master operators see all sites that are not part of the WebUI App collection.

Note: Not all Fixlets are deployable. Do not use the Content App to deploy Fixlets that:
  • Contain or employ JavaScript, for example, JavaScript that takes action or secure action.
  • Use Session Relevance.
  • Use specialized Console APIs.

The Fixlets will not run, and you will receive no errors or any other indication that something is wrong until devices start reporting back that there is a problem. If you are not sure whether a Fixlet is deployable or not, run it from the BigFix Console to avoid unpredictable behavior.

Operator Access
