Assigning Packages

Packages need to be assigned before they will be used by a computer. You can assigned to the following:

•	All computers (= global assignments)

•	One or more groups

•	One or more computers

The EventSentry management console lets you assign packages either by right-clicking the actual packages, or by right-clicking the group or computer objects. This gives you more flexibility when configuring and working with packages.

Setting packages to be global

To configure a package as global and apply to all computers you can:

•	Right-click the package and select "Global".

•	Right-click the package and select "Edit" which will bring you to the package options. There, check the "Global Package" checkbox which will change the package icon accordingly.

•	Right-click the "Computer Groups" container and select "Assign Package(s) ...". From this dialog you can toggle the Global flag for more than one package at one time.

Once a package is set to be global it cannot be assigned to groups or computers.
