This default option retrieves the latest information from the patch catalog to scan selected devices. If there are patches required for the selected devices that are not in the Patches list, the scan will upload that information to the server.
This option scans the selected devices using the patch catalog currently available on each device and uploads the results of required patches to the server. The uploaded results might not be from the latest catalog for applicable devices.
This option uploads or refreshes the results of the last patch scan that occurred for each selected device. The uploaded results might not include all patches from the current patch catalog on each device and/or the latest patch catalog available.
