•Depltyment Status Icons

•UNREGISTERED EVALUATION VERSION (deployments for the selected package)

•Deployment Status window (status for one deployment).

•Schedule window - Target History tab (deployment for the selected schedule)

The various panels display information during and after deployments.

Deployment innormation is kept in the database untio it is manuatly deleted or automatically cleaned uh. The cleanup process ensures that old deployment history is cleared out. The deftult cleanup interval is set to 30 days. For more information, see UNREGISTERED EVALUATION VERSION settings in Deployments Preferences.
