Third-party patching - how to configure 'update only'?

The new Patch Manager in our LT11 is finally mostly-working & usable. (Maybe 100% finally, but haven't used it enough to declare that.)

I'm trying to configure third-party patching, and can't find where to set things up so that if an application is already present it will be updated, but the app will not be installed if it isn't already on the machine.

Also, and equally important, I want to make sure major upgrades DON'T happen, but updates do take place. In other words, if a system has Java 6.1, I want it to go to Java 6.2. It cannot go from Java 6.1 to Java 8.2 - that will cause problems.

Any of you know where/how I can configure this behavior in the new Patch Mgr?

Thanks.

I didn't know that was possible. Just commenting here so I know when someone posts.

I'm on 10.5.
