The Active Patches tab of a patch job

This tab shows the progress of the patching process that is executed by the selected patch job. It provides the following information.

Parameter	Description
Patch Name	The name of the executable file contained in the security patch.
Bulletin	The name of the bulletin if one exists for this patch.
Status	The overall installation status of the patch executive file, that is, the least favorable status of all devices is displayed. This means that if even on only one of all the assigned devices the installation failed, the overall status is displayed as failed. The possible values are: Patch inventory not yet uploaded : The agent is waiting to establish the patch inventory of the device that is required to determine which patches are missing and must be installed. Execution Pending : The patch job is installing the patch on all devices on which it is missing. Installed : The patch file was successfully installed on all devices. Installation failed : The patch could not be installed on at least one of the devices.
Installed Devices	This column shows the relation between the number of devices that have already successfully installed the patch versus the total number of devices on which the patch is missing.
Failed	The number of patches that failed to install.
Severity	The importance of the patch. This is not necessarily the same severity as that of the individual bulletins contained in the patch. If a bulletin is classified as Unrated , it is often due to the fact that it contains several executable files with different severity ratings.
CVE ID	The CVE identification of the patch if it has one.
Size	The total size of the patch package.
Product Family	This field displays the full name of the software product family, such as Windows XP Home Edition or Adobe.
