Monitoring and maintaining the system 52 Solutions tab tasks Task Description Summary When an individual solution is selected in the Solutions list, it displays the solution name, version number, install time, update time, lists of the device groups and software client groups to which the selected solution is assigned, and lists of the formsets and reports included in the solution. When All Solutions is selected in the Solutions list, a table is displayed containing the preceding information about all the solutions deployed on the network. Configuration* Adjusts the global settings for the selected solution. The parameters are predetermined for each solution. EForms* Displays a list of the formsets associated with the selected solution eSF* Displays a list of eSF applications associated with the selected solution Jobs* Displays a table of the jobs that utilize the selected solution Log* Displays a table of the events and messages generated by the selected solution * This task is not available when All Solutions is selected in the Solutions list.
