- While the patch/software is scheduled to be deployed during system startup.
- If it is specified in Deployment Settings, patches/software will be deployed only during the **Install Between** time.
- If it is specified in Deployment Settings, patches/software will be deployed during the **Install Between** time after the next **system startup**.
- If it is specified in Scheduler Settings, patches/software will be deployed only during the **Install After** time. |
|  In Progress | Represents that the configuration is applied on one or more targets. Will continue to remain in this state until the configurations are applied to all the defined targets. |

|  | **Note:** **Configurations that have been applied to targets prior to suspension will not be reverted. Suspending a configuration will only stop further deployments.For example, suppose we are deploying a configuration to 10 endpoints in your remote office. If you click Suspend immediately after deploying the configuration to one endpoint, the configurations will not be deployed to the remaining 9 endpoints. To resume the deployment, you need to click Resume for the configuration to be deployed in all the other 9 endpoints.** |
