Component Template - Parts

The Parts panel lets you specify the server objects that make up the component template.

The Parts panel is optional. You can create an empty component template by skipping this panel when you create the component template. Later, during the editing process, you can add parts to the component template.

If you add rules on the Discover or Compliance tab, the rules editor automatically adds parts that are referenced in the rules to this panel. The rules editor also checks the appropriate Discover or Compliance check box.

You can specify parts by choosing them from live servers or Snapshot Job results. Alternatively, you can enter a path to a part without first selecting a particular server object or local object. If you are editing an existing component template, you can also select from local configuration, extended, or server objects.

The following topics describe how to add and update template parts:

• Adding template parts
• Defining includes and excludes for a part
• Updating a template part
• Specifying snapshot and audit options
