Throughout Red Hat Network you will see three Errata Alert icons.
represents a Security Alert.
represents a Bug Fix Alert.
represents an Enhancement Alert.
In the Your RHN page, click on the Errata advisory to view details about the Erratum or click on the number of affected systems to see which are affected by the Errata Alert. Both links take you to tabs of the Errata Details page. Refer to Section 4.5.2.2 Errata Details for more information.
In addition to the Advanced Search functionality offered within some categories, the RHN website also offers a Quick Search tool near the top of each page. To use it, select the item type (such as RPMs) and type a keyword that will be used to look for a name match. Then click the Search button. Your results will appear at the bottom of the page. Refer to the appropriate category for instructions on using these results.
Also near the top of the page is a tool for keeping track of the systems you've selected for use in the System Set Manager. It identifies the number selected at all times and provides the means to work with them. Clicking the Clear button deselects all systems, while clicking the Manage button launches the System Set Manager with your selected systems in place.
These systems can be selected in a number of ways. Only systems entitled to the Management service are eligible for selection. On all system and system group lists, a Select column exists for this purpose. Select the checkboxes next to the systems or groups and click the Update List button below the column. Each time, the Systems Selected tool at the top of the page will change to reflect the new number of systems ready for use in the System Set Manager. Refer to Section 4.4.4 System Set Manager for details.
The information within most categories is presented as lists. These lists have some common features for navigation. For instance, you can navigate through virtually all lists by clicking the back and next arrows above and below the right side of the table. Some lists also offer the ability to retrieve items alphabetically by clicking the letters above the table.
