Summary Panel

The top panel provides a high-level summary of the deployment.

• Quick scan on critical information such as Job type, Tags, Start time, Reboot option, Patch type, Target, Report to, Created by, Patch selection.
• Installation Success Rate: This metric appears once a deployment is complete. It represents the ratio of Installed Patches to Total Patch Installations (which includes all patches with a status of Installed, Pending Reboot, Not Installed, or Failed.) For example: If 100 patch installations happened and 80 got Installed, your success rate is 80%.
