Assigning an operational rule to a device

To assign a device to an operational rule, proceed as follows:

1. Select Edit > Assign Device .
   A pop-up menu appears where you can define if the operational rule will be automatically activated with the default schedule.

2. Click Yes.

   If you select No, the operational rule must be specifically activated afterwards.

   The Assign to Device pop-up window appears.

3. Select the device from one of the list boxes.
   If the operational rule is of type Software Distribution and the package is of type MSI and the administrative installation option is activated the Select Installation Type window will appear on the screen.
4. Select the desired type with which the package is to be installed:
   • Administrative Select this option if the package is to be installed in the classic MSI administrative installation mode.
   • Network Select this radio button if you want to extract the MSI package created with CM into a specific network path from which the target devices will download.

   • Normal Select this radio button if the package is to be simply downloaded by the target devices and installed.

     Be aware that the administrative or network installation will work only with packages which were created with version 5.3.1 or later.

5. Click OK to confirm the assignment and close the window.

The device will be added to the table of assigned device groups with the default timer, which schedules execution once per hour.
