Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Changed the GUI within the Software Standards page making it easier to remove or delete a software category.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENWorks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 3

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually athttps://download.novell.com. The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 3 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release

Additional Information

When you are working with the software standards, it is pretty easy to find the applications and assign them to a category; however, removing or deleting an application from a standards category is not very intuitive.
There is a now a "Drop Standards Category" menu option. The set standards category page has changed to use the popup list of choices rather than the drop down menu with "add an item..." and "change an item...". The popup gives all of the same capability with an added feature of allowing the page to load faster because all the options do not have to be loaded at once.
