Patch ratings help administrators prioritize the patch update process using the following severity rating levels:

  • Critical impact
  • Important impact
  • Moderate impact
  • Low impact

A whitelisted patch is automatically approved, eliminating the need to approve the same patch for different devices. After whitelisting a patch, the patch is ready for installation.

Auto approval is available only for critical and security category patches.

You can rate a patch from the Setup > Integration page. Using patch rating, enter the following rating:

  • Whitelist
  • Blacklist
