Using the Action Toolbar

Selecting a computer or group of computers in Faronics Deploy brings up an Action Toolbar. See Action Toolbar for a list of Actions that are available in the different views.

The tasks in the Action Toolbar change based on the section of Deploy you are in. For instance, when a computer is selected from within the Applications grid, the Action Toolbar displays actions that are specific to application updates and installs, and when a computer is selected from within the Windows Update grid, the actions displayed are specific to Windows Updates.
