This dashlet displays the device assignment status for an individual bundle. Data in the device assignment status dashlet is displayed based on the effective assignment calculation that is periodically computed by the ZENworks server. The dashlet data is also displayed based on the information reported back by the device on whether the assignment is effective on the device or not.
When you access this dashlet immediately after assigning a bundle to a device, then no data will be displayed, as the effective assignment calculation is not yet computed by the ZENworks server. To trigger effective assignments immediately, click the Refresh dashlet icon, after which you can view the assignment status in the dashlet.
The assignment status information is categorized as:
Effective: Indicates that the device meets the system requirements set for the bundle and the assignment is effective for the device.
Not Effective: Indicates that the device does not meet the system requirements set for the bundle and the assignment is not effective for the device.
Blocked: Indicates that the bundle has been blocked from executing on the device.
Pending: Indicates that the assignment status of the bundle is yet to be determined due to reasons such as, the bundle is just assigned to the device, the device has not yet reported the status of the assignment, or the version of the agent is older than the ZENworks 2020 version.
Unknown: Indicates that the server is unable to determine the status of the bundle.
To determine how best to configure the dashlet for your organization’s needs, you can ask questions such as:
How many devices to which the bundle is assigned, do not the meet the system requirements of the bundle?
How many duplicate assignments have been made to the device?
Filter the data displayed: To filter the data that the dashlet displays, expand and modify any of the sections in the Filter panel. The filters include Device Folders, Device Groups, Operating System, Device Type, and the Agent Version. Additionally, the following filters are also available based on which the displayed data can be modified:

On selecting the device group or device folder, only those devices that were part of the device group or folder to which the bundle was assigned, are displayed. |
The Device Assignment Status panel: Displays the devices that meet the criteria defined in the Filter panel. You can also filter the list by searching for a device name. The columns listed in this panel are:
|
Column Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Device |
The name of the device to which the bundle is assigned. |
|
Agent Version |
The ZENworks agent version installed on the device. |
|
Bundle Version |
The version of the bundle assigned to the device is displayed. By default the latest published version is displayed. The bundle version might be displayed as unknown, if the bundle is yet to be processed on the device. |
|
Assignment Status |
The status of the assignment based on the selected bundle version assigned to the device is displayed. The statuses are:
|
|
Assignment Status Time |
View devices based on the time at which the assignment status of the bundle was last updated or modified. |
|
Status Processed Time |
View devices based on the time at which the status of the bundle, such as the assignment status or the deployment status, was last updated or modified |
|
Not Effective Reason |

|
Bundle Assignment |
The manner in which the bundle is assigned. If the bundle is directly assigned to the device and a bundle group, to which the bundle belongs, is assigned to the device, then 2 is displayed. It determines the different ways in which the bundle is assigned to the device and helps in identifying duplicate assignments made for the device. |

It determines the different ways in which the bundle is assigned to the device and helps in identifying duplicate assignments made for the device. |
|
Blocked Time |
The time at which the bundle was blocked from executing on the device. The time displayed is based on the local time on the server from which the bundle was blocked. |
|
Device Folder |
The device folder to which the device belongs is displayed. |
|
Device Type |
The type of device, that is, Servers, Workstation or Mobile Device. |

Execute actions in the Device Assignment Status panel: The actions that you can execute on this panel are:
|
Task |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Block Bundle |
Blocks the assignment from executing on the device. If the blocked bundle uninstalls from the device, the assignment status changes to Pending after the server side computation. |
|
Unblock Bundle |
Unblocks a bundle assignment of a blocked bundle. The bundle assignment is reinstated and the bundle is executed on the device. |
|
Refresh Device |
Refreshes the device so that any pending actions can immediately be initiated on the device. This quick task updates all information (bundle, policy, configuration settings, registration, and so forth) on the selected devices. |
