The Systems  Systems  All page contains the default set of your systems. It displays every system you have permission to manage.

Checking in means that Zypper on SUSE Linux Enterprise or Red Hat Update Agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux client systems connects to SUSE Manager to see if there are any updates available or if any actions have been scheduled. If you see a message telling you that check-ins are not taking place, the client system is not successfully connecting to SUSE Manager.
