Copying device moving rules

Expand all | Collapse all

You can copy moving rules, for example, if you want to have several identical rules for different target administration groups.

To copy an existing a moving rule:

1. Do one of the following:
   • In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Moving rules.
   • In the main menu, go to Discovery & deployment → Deployment & assignment → Moving rules.

   The list of moving rules is displayed.

2. Select the check box next to the rule you want to copy.
3. Click Copy.
4. In the window that opens, change the following information on the General tab—or make no changes if you only want to copy the rule without changing its settings:
   • Rule name

     Enter a name for the new rule.

     If you are copying a rule, the new rule gets the same name as the source rule, but an index in () format is added to the name, for example: (1).

   • Administration group

     Select the administration group into which the devices are to be moved automatically.

   • Active rule

     If this option is enabled, the rule is enabled and starts working after it is saved.

     If this option is disabled, the rule is created, but not enabled. It will not work until you enable this option.

   • Move only devices that do not belong to an administration group

     If this option is enabled, only unassigned devices will be moved to the selected group.

     If this option is disabled, devices that already belong to other administration groups, as well as unassigned devices, will be moved to the selected group.

   • Apply rule

     You can select one of the following options:

     • Run once for each device

       The rule is applied once for each device that matches your criteria.

     • Run once for each device, then at every Network Agent reinstallation

       The rule is applied once for each device that matches your criteria, then only when Network Agent is reinstalled on these devices.

     • Apply rule continuously

       The rule is applied according to the schedule which the Administration Server sets up automatically (usually every several hours).

5. On the Rule conditions tab, specify at least one criterion for the devices that you want to be moved automatically.
6. Click Save.

The new moving rule is created. It is displayed in the list of moving rules.
