Package Action Confirmation Window
The Package Action Confirmation window appears whenever you initiate certain actions. It summarizes the tasks that will be performed and allows you to selectively include or exclude packages from the list.

1. Selected Package: This column shows the name of the package(s) that will be included in this action. Here you can include or exclude the package from the action by clicking the checkbox next to it. If you select (highlight) multiple packages in the list then when you toggle any of the checkboxes, all the packages will be affected (see Figure 103).

2. Action: This column lists the action that will be performed on the package. Examples of some actions are Install, Uninstall, Upgrade, Downgrade, and Download.
3. Status: This column indicates the status of the package. The message displayed here will depend on how the package was included in the list. If you selected a package to perform an action then User Selected will show here. If the package is included in the list due to a dependency from another package then auto-dependency will show here.
4. Include Dependencies: This checkbox allows you to globally include or exclude dependency packages. This is enabled by default and is the recommended setting. If you uncheck this then all dependency packages will not be installed. Note: packages that require the dependency to be installed may not function correctly or will be broken in LabVIEW.
5. Select/Deselect All: This checkbox allows you to quickly select or unselect (include or not include) all packages in the list.
6. OK/Cancel: If you cancel this window then no action will be performed. If you click OK then the selected action will be performed and the status of your action can be monitored in the status bar at the bottom of VIPM. Once the actions are complete the Last Action Results Window will be displayed.
