Viewing and Editing Client Properties
Client properties are items of information about Client PCs and their users. To display the properties of a Client, right-click its entry in the Clients View and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. Two types of property are displayed:
System properties are standard items of information that Vector AM automatically collects when you perform hardware inventory or software inventory operations on Clients. You cannot edit these properties.
User properties are user-specified items of information held about the Client. You can collect user properties using the Get User Data operation, or enter and update the properties directly using this dialog.
To create a user property:
1 Click the User tab to display the user properties list, and click Add. The Property dialog is displayed.
2 In the Property dialog:
a Enter the property Name and its Value.
b If you want to prevent the property from being overwritten by Get User Data operations, select Locked property.
c Click OK to save your changes. The property is displayed in the Client Properties list.
3 Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
To edit a user property:
