    • Reboot Action Email - Applies only if Do not reboot after update, send email is selected in a Deployment profile. Specifies the Subject and Body format of email notifications that a machine needs to be rebooted after a patch.
    • Compliance - Compliance checking is reported on the Dashboard page and in Info Center > Report Parts for Software Management.
      • Compliance Check - Specifies how often machines are checked for compliance, based on Kaseya Server time.
      • Scan Grace Period - Specifies the grace period included in compliance checking for scanning. A machine is out of compliance if—at the time compliance is checked—the last actual scan was later than the last scheduled scan plus the grace period.
      • Deploy Grace Period - Specifies the grace period included in compliance checking for deployment. A machine is out of compliance if—at the time compliance is checked—the last actual deployment was later than the last scheduled deployment plus the grace period.
      • Patch Tolerance - Specifies a percentage ratio of deployed patches to approved patches. A machine is out of compliance if deployed patches are less than the specified percentage of approved patches.

      NOTE   3rd-party patches are only included in compliance calculations if 3rd-party patching has been enabled for a machine.
