Note: Each update must be in its own subfolder. If importing only one update, specify the folder that contains that update. If importing multiple updates, put each update subfolder under a wrapper folder and specify the wrapper folder during the import operation. Assigning triplets to an update You can assign custom updates to one or more systems. When viewing updates in the repository, you can select one or more updates and assign those updates to one or more systems by selecting the relevant triplets. Generating a contents report of the network share repository You can generate a report of the contents in the network share repository that will be in an Excel spreadsheet format (CSV file). In this report, you can choose to include active updates, archived updates, hidden updates, and test updates. Modifying settings You can set the default repository and the default update package status by using the Modify settings option in the Update Retriever navigation pane. • Update default status: The status of updates will be set to a specified value when updates are retrieved from the Lenovo Help Center or imported to a local repository. • Repositories: You can customize the location of the repository folder. If a network share is specified using the UNC path, you can provide a user name and password to authenticate without requiring a prompt when making the actual connection.
