How to Add a Machine
Once a Client and Location have been created, go to the Location Details page, and select Add Machine.
The following fields are required and the rest are optional:
- Name: The full name of the location (e.g. “testing machine 1”).
- Short Name: A shortened version to quickly reference the full name (“tst_mac_1”).
- Operating System: The primary OS used on this machine.
- Family: Can be left blank, see machine families for more detailed information.
- Location: The location that holds this machine.
The rest of the fields are optional, but are useful for various tasks. Once Scans are performed on this machine, there is a good chance most of these will be populated automatically. For more information about this process, please read Automatic Machine Data Collection.
