FlexxAgent Versions
As FlexxAgent versions evolve and incorporate new functionalities, organizations need to control which version of FlexxAgent will be installed on their devices.
In this regard, the FlexxAgent Versions functionality allows users with the Organization Administrators role to choose the FlexxAgent version to be used in each of the report groups created in the organization's environment.
To access this feature, please consult with your contact at Flexxible.
Version settings
To manage FlexxAgent versions, the environment must have version 25.4.1 installed and the user must be an Organization Administrator.
Steps for configuration:
- Access
Portal
->Configuration
->FlexxAgent Versions
.
The table will display the list of reporting groups in the organization with the following information:
- Name: name of the reporting group.
- Windows Production: version number set for Production in Windows.
- macOS Production: version number set for Production in macOS.
- Linux Production: version number set for Production in Linux.
- Automatic Updates: defined from the reporting group configuration. It will always point to Production environments, not Early.
- Early is the testing environment, where an operator can review if the version indicated in this field is functional for the organization's needs. It is recommended to be in Latest.

If the Show early versions
button is activated, located at the top of the table, versions will be shown in the Early scope for all operating systems.

When an older version of FlexxAgent (downgrade) is applied to the devices, the current version is automatically uninstalled to install the configured version; additionally, the devices lose access to features corresponding to more recent versions.
Management from Workspaces
Since the FlexxAgent versions are configured for the Production and Early environments, a user can decide which will apply to the selected devices in the Workspaces module.
Workspaces
-> Operations
-> FlexxAgent
-> Update FlexxAgent
A modal window will request to indicate in which environment this update will be applied: Early or Production.
