Expedite Status Readings?

Somewhat novice to the use of your relatively new Client Security Premium 11 and Policy Manager Console.

Looking for a way to expedite/initiate fresh status' of the clients in need of Software Updates. I find our PMC too slow in reflecting changes to workstation's F-Secure status and need to know if I can simply force a fresh look at a given client(s) Software Update status. If not at the PMC level, can the client itself be forced to take a fresh look at what it needs in the way of Windows/Adobe/Java, etc. updates and report it back to PMC?

Perfect example is the urgent Adobe Flash Player update upon on now. Upon a given client realizing an older Flash update, I need to turn around and push/expedite the next update it's due but it sits on its last known status for quite some time.

Thanks for any advice.

As these settings are located on the software updater branch, they are meant for the third-party updates.

Thank you. To clarify, these are third-party updates i.e. Windows/Java/Adobe, correct? As opposed to the F-Secure system updates themselves to the F-Secure client? These two types of updates are easy to confuse and hard to describe/distinguish for me.

You should be able to force the scan for updates as shown below in the Policy Manager in advanced mode.
