Details Tab

The Details tab shows you the mechanics behind the selected Fixlet, Task, Analysis or Baseline object.


This window displays the Details tab under which the mechanics behind the selected Fixlet, Task, Analysis, or Baseline object are displayed.

It includes several sections describing various aspects of the Fixlet message:

  • Properties: As seen above, this section lists various properties of the Fixlet, Task, or Baseline, including Category, Download Size, Severity, and more. These properties are defined manually when the object is created.
  • Relevance: This section displays the Relevance expressions that are used to determine the relevance of an individual Fixlet message or Task.

    This window displays the Details tab under which the Relevance expressions that are used to determine the relevance of an individual Fixlet message or Task are displayed.

    This example has multiple statements that must all be true for the item to be considered Relevant to any particular BigFix Client. For a Baseline, this is an 'envelope' expression that determines the overall relevance of the group. Only if the group is applicable is the relevance of the constituent Tasks and Fixlets analyzed. This is the core information for an Analysis, which evaluates the Relevance expression and retrieves that value.

  • Actions: This section displays the code to be run if an action is deployed from either a Fixlet or a Task.

    This window displays the Details tab under which the Actions section displays the code to be run if an action is deployed from either a Fixlet or a Task.
  • Comment: This section lets you attach comments to the Fixlet, Task, or Baseline.

    This section displays the Details tab under which the Comment section is displayed.

This dialog is available by clicking a Fixlet, Task, Analysis, or Baseline icon in the Domain Panel navigation tree, selecting an item from the resulting List Panel, and clicking the Details tab.
