Consider creating labels to group Dell Updates and devices. You can then use those labels when you create Dell Update schedules. For example, you could create a label that groups updates by application families, such as drivers or firmware. Or, you could group all Dell servers running Microsoft Windows 7 into a single label and then run a Dell Update schedule to bring them up to date. For more information about creating labels for updates and devices, see Using Smart Labels for patching.
