Assign policies to devices

Surveyor 6.x

Knowledge Base

You can assign policies to devices manually in device list view, or automatically using policy assignment rules. For details on configuring policy assignment rules, see Configure policy assignment rules.

NOTE: All power settings in policies apply to PCs and Macs. For other types of devices, only scheduled power level changes apply. Surveyor collects data for all device types for reporting purposes.

For details on creating policies, see Create and edit policies.

  1.  In the Administrator console, on the Verdiem menu , click Devices, and then click a group to view the devices assigned to that group.

    Or, in the Administrator console, click the Search button  and filter the device view.

  2.  Select the device or multiple devices in the resulting list.
  3.  On the Item Actions menu, click Manually Assign Policy or Use Policy Assignment Rules.
    NOTE: When you manually assign a policy to a device, it is automatically flagged as being manually assigned. To clear the manually assigned flag, you must select the device from the device list, and then on the Item Actions menu, click Use Policy Assignment Rules.

    If you choose Use Policy Assignment Rules and one or more of the selected devices was manually assigned (previously), you will need to select the option Include N manually assigned devices and then click OK to confirm that you want to change from a manually assigned policy to rule-based assignment.
