• When creating a scheduled activity in Web Reports, the Activity Actions box allows the user to specify what actions to take when the activity runs1.
• The available options are:
• The user can select one or more of these options for each scheduled activity. For example, the user can email and archive the report, or email and run the executable, or archive and run the executable, or do all three1.

• If UDP is not allowed on a network segment, the BigFix clients on that segment will not receive the UDP notifications from the server or relay, and will rely on the default 45-minute polling interval to check for new actions.1
• To reduce the delay in receiving new actions, you can enable the client polling feature, which allows the clients to poll the server or relay more frequently for new commands.2
• To enable the client polling feature, you need to set two client settings on the target clients:2
• You can set these client settings either through the console or manually on the endpoint.4
• After setting these client settings, the clients will poll the server or relay at the specified interval and receive new actions faster.

A Top Level Relay is a relay that directly communicates with the BigFix Server and has other relays as its children. A Top Level Relay has no limit as to the number of relays they can manage, but it is recommended to have no more than 1000 relays per Top Level Relay for optimal performance. When designing a relay hierarchy, the BigFix Administrator should consider the following factors:

• The network bandwidth and latency between the relays and the server
• The number and size of the fixlets, actions, and reports that are exchanged between the relays and the server
• The CPU and memory resources of the relays and the server
• The relay affiliation and selection settings of the clients and the relays
• The encryption and decryption of the client reports by the relays and the server
