Assigning a target configuration

A job with the Assign Target action enables you to assign a target configuration to a device. Target configurations can be:

• Imported and exported from/to external systems (for example, modeling)
• Edited and deployed to a device
• Audited for compliance by using the Compliance Summary Report
• Compared side-by-side with other configurations by using Configuration Comparison Report
