The patch display lists the available patches for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The
patches are sorted by security relevance (security, recommended, and optional).
There are three different views on patches. Use Show Patch Category to toggle the
views:
Needed Patches (default view)
Non-installed patches that apply to packages installed on your system.
Unneeded Patches
Patches that either apply to packages not installed on your system, or patches that
have requirements which have already have been fulfilled (because they have already
been updated from another source).
All Patches

A list entry consists of a symbol and the patch name. For a list of possible symbols,
press Shift + F1 . Actions required by Security and Recommended patches are au-
tomatically preset. These actions are Autoinstall, Autoupdate and Autodelete. Actions
for Optional patches are not preset—right-click on a patch and choose an action
from the list.
