Wizard for Custom Checklists</u></b><br>
<br>
IBM is pleased to announce a new wizard for owners of the Security and
Compliance product in the Endpoint Manager family. <br>
<br>
This Custom Checklist Synchronization wizard allows an administrator to
easily synchronize a custom security checklist with the IBM-provided checklist
that was used as the source material. In the past an administrator could
not easily update custom checklists when the original source material had
changed. This new tool will automatically flag checks that are out-of-sync
and will update all of the out-of-sync checks with a single action. Custom
parameterization settings are preserved and do not have to be recreated.<br>
<br>
The new wizard is contained within the "SCM Reporting" site and
can be found in the Security Configuration domain in the Endpoint Manager
Console application. Look in the navigation tree under "Configuration
Management -> Checklists Tools" for the "Synchronize Custom
Checks" wizard. A link to the Quick Start guide can be found </font><a href="https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Synchronize%20Custom%20Checks%20wizard"><font size=2 color=blue face="Verdana"><u>HERE</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Verdana"><u>.</u></font>
