In the CLI Console widget, or any terminal emulation software, enter the following commands:

config system global

set partial-install enable

end

To push an object or objects to devices:
  1. In the Object Configurations pane, locate the objects to push.
  2. Select the objects then click More > Push To Device in the toolbar, or right-click on the objects and select Push To Device.

    The Push To Device dialog box opens, and the selected object or objects are pushed to all of the devices that currently use them.
