bes fixlet
A bes fixlet represents a Fixlet or a Task. It provides a way to read the name, ID, BigFix site, and other details of that BigFix content item. It can be used to determine on what computers it became relevant on. If a Fixlet (or Task) that was relevant on a computer has become non relevant, it is said to have been "remediated" on that computer. This information can also be retrieved.

Creation
This Client inspector is used to locate the site corresponding to the current analysis in order to look at certain related files. This is helpful for SCM content that resides in Fixlet sites and can be copied to custom sites. The value of 'current analysis' will move with the copy. In the Client context, this inspector has global scope and returns a Fixlet.Note: When used in a session context, this inspector has a scope limited to the BES Fixlet.

The link href property does not return an <A> tag but rather returns the value of the href attribute of the <A> tag that would be constructed by the other link inspectors. This allows you to create more flexible linking formats. (See link of <bes fixlet>). Note that link href returns a normal string, not an HTML string.
