HP SUM's Guided Update function allows you to update the localhost using the default baseline. The default baseline is the directory from which you are running HP SUM.

NOTE: If the directory from which you are running HP SUM has no updates, then you cannot use Guided Update. If there is no default baseline, HP SUM displays a message in the Inventory of Baseline section. | |
Interactive: In this mode HP SUM uses the default baseline to update the localhost. You can choose the updates that HP SUM applies to the localhost.
NOTE: HP SUM does not support configuring components in Guided Update.

NOTE: In automatic mode, HP SUM will automatically begin updates when you click OK.
