Calculating devices impacted by changing or removing labels

Before you change what is applied to a label, or delete a label, you would like to know if that action impacts a large number of devices. Knowing that a large number of devices are affected by an action might cause you to rethink your actions.

You can set a threshold for the number of devices impacted by the following actions:

If either of these actions impact the number of devices you set as a threshold or more, you are notified, and can decide to modify or cancel the action.

The default threshold Ivanti EPMM uses is 100 devices, which can be changed in Settings.

If deleting a label or removing a configuration from a label affects a number of devices that exceeds the threshold, you receive an alert that:

For example, if you set the threshold to 90 devices, alerts are sent if 91 or more devices are affected by the action.

The default number of devices for the Device Impact Threshold is 100. You can set this to a different number, if your Ivanti EPMM implementation requires.

Procedure 

The correct threshold differs among deployments. What you are determining is the number of devices you will put at risk with a label action without wanting a warning first and a reason that you can track if the action causes problems.

For some deployments that number can be ten devices. For other deployments it may be 500 devices. If you are not certain what number to specify:

If either removing a configuration from a label or deleting a label affects more than the set threshold of devices, a message displays letting you know that the action affects more than the threshold number of devices and asking you for guidance.
