Using the Property Dialog
Client Properties are items of data held about Clients. They can be collected automatically (for example, $HWDATE automatically records when the hardware inventory of the Client was last saved), they can be collected using the Get User Data operation, and they can be added, updated and deleted using the Property dialog.
To record a new Client property:
1 In the Client Properties dialog, select the property you want to modify and click Add. The Property dialog is displayed.
2 In the Name field, enter the name by which you want to identify the property. Note that properties beginning with the $ character are automatically created by Vector AM.
3 In the Value field, enter the information you want to record.
4 If you want to prevent the property from being overwritten when inventory operations are performed, select the Lock Property check box
5 Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog. The property is saved with the currently selected Client.
To update the properties of a Client:
1 In the Client Properties dialog, select the property you want to modify and click Edit. The Property dialog is displayed.
2 In the Value field, enter a new value for the property.
3 If you want to prevent the property from being overwritten when inventory operations are performed, select the Lock Property check box
4 Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
Note
$OfflineId and $OffllineArea specify the individual offline area subdirectories, which Clients use to collect instructions and send data to the Console. If you change these properties for a Client, you must first reconfigure the Client to use the new subdirectory for the transfer of data.
