Override

Software Management > Profiles > Override

The Override page specifies named sets of selected overrides. An override exists for each patch that can be deployed. These overrides, if assigned to a machine, take precedence over the approval. review or rejection of these same patches assigned to a machine by Scan and Analysis or 3rd-Party Software profile. Overrides are assigned to machines using the Assign Profiles button on the Machines page.

Overrides have precedence from highest to lowest in each override list. On the Override page you can reorder overrides by dragging and dropping them within a list during editing. Once an override list is assigned to a machine on the Machines page, you can adjust the order of overrides for each machine separately or Delete an override for an individual machine.

Note: When over-ride profile is created and assigned to endpoint a scan is required to implement over-ride attributes.

You can specify overrides using three tabs however, please read this important note below:
