Symptoms

Scenario:

• Go under View / Patches
• Under search type in something pretty specific like MS14-02 - this narrows down the list of patches to a small set
• Now from the Patches drop-down, choose Export visible patches to CSV.

Expected result:

• I would expect a CSV file containing only the patches that meet my MS14-02 search criteria
• Help documentation states that patches visible in the top pane will be exported

Actual result:

• All patches are exported
• The resulting CSV file is very large in size.
• Compare this with Selecting all of the patches in the top pane, then right-click Export selected patches to CSV.  The resulting CSV file is much smaller.
  
  

Resolution

Shavlik support has a defect entered for this issue, and it should be fixed in a future release of Protect (unknown ETA).

Workaround: For the time being the best workaround is to select all in the grid and right click, then choose export visible patches to CSV.
