Package installation follow-up can be done from

  1. Asset item page. Open the Asset item page and select Events > Distribution status tab. You can refresh the distribution status table by pressing the 'Refresh' icon in the toolbar. You can interrupt and resume package installation using the "Pause waiting distributions" and "Resume paused distributions" tasks through the view's "Tasks" menu.

  2. Installations view. Select Operations > Software management > Installations status > Initial installations or Package distributions for follow-up.
