Before you create the patch management workflow definitions, you need to create the checklists that are used by those workflow definitions. These checklists need to exist before you can incorporate them into the workflows. This section identifies the specific requirements for the checklist used by both the patch implementation and the patch mitigation workflows. For more information about checklists, see Creating Checklists for Workflows.
