From the CT group tree, select the CT group to which the client (CT) or smart device (agent) that requires policy modification belongs.
The latest policy information is displayed.
Note

When any of the following conditions is satisfied, the information of the CT group or CT list of the Management Server under the Master Management Server displayed in the window may not be updated.
When the CT group tree is modified at Management Server side
When Active Directory Linkage is performed and the group tree is modified
Select Refresh Tree from the Tree Settings menu to update.
From the CT list, select the client (CT) or smart device (agent) that requires policy modification.
From the policy tree, select the policy and modify it.
Refer to "2.4.1 Perform Terminal Initial Settings" for details on policy setting items.
Modify the Name or Notes displayed in the CT list as needed.
Characters that can be entered in Name and Notes are as follows.
Name: Up to 40 single-byte characters (20 double-byte characters) including alphanumeric characters, Chinese characters, Hiragana, Katakana, or symbols can be entered.
Notes: Up to 127 single-byte characters (63 double-byte characters) including alphanumeric characters, Chinese characters, Hiragana, Katakana, or symbols can be entered.
Click any of the following buttons to update policy to the CT.
When clicking the Update at Next Startup button
Each policy will be updated to the database, but it will not be updated to the client (CT) or smart device (agent) immediately. The timing with which the latest policy is reflected is shown below:
Client (CT)
- When communication is established with the server (either the Master Management Server or Management Server) to which the client (CT) will connect during the next startup of the client (CT)
Smart device (agent)
- When Sync now is clicked on the smart device (agent)
- When automatic synchronization with the Management Server is executed (between 12:00 and 13:00)
When clicking the Update Immediately button
Client (CT)
Each policy will be updated both in database and the running the client (CT).
- The setting of File export/read will update policy at the next startup of file export utility when the file export utility has been started at the client (CT) on which the immediate update is performed.
- When the application permitted in the Print/PrintScreen has already been started in the client (CT) on which the immediate update is performed, policy will be updated at next application startup.
- When logoff or shutdown has been set in the Logon, it will be updated to the running client (CT). In addition, for the client (CT) that is not running and the client (CT) that is unable to communicate with the upper level server, the latest policy will be updated at the next time when the client (CT) is started and communicates with the target server (Master Management Server or Management Server.
Smart device (agent)
Each policy will be reflected on the database, but it will not be reflected on the smart device (agent) immediately. The timing with which the latest policy is reflected is shown below:
- When Sync now is clicked on the smart device (agent)
- When automatic synchronization with the Management Server is executed (between 12:00 and 13:00)
Point
When there are a large number of clients (CTs) in a CT group, it is recommended to select [Update at Next Startup]
The timeout period for the connection of a client (CT) that is not connected to the Master Management Server or Management Server is 5 seconds for each client (CT). In addition, in spite of dependence on network environment, when performing Update Immediately for the client (CT) that is connected to Master Management Server or Management Server, the time required for each client (CT) to apply policy is approximately 1 second.
Therefore, when there are a large number of CTs that are the target for policy setting, it is recommended to click the Update at Next Startup button.
When Name or Notes have been modified, after the policy is updated, the input information will be updated to CT list.
Even if the CT policy is not applied to the client (CT) and smart device (agent), the group policy of the CT group to which the client (CT) and smart device (agent) belong can still be applied. At this time, select the Apply Group Policy check box to perform the policy update.
When setting CT group policy, policy can also be set collectively for the subordinate client (CT) and smart device (agent) under the CT group. In this case, the configuration value of CT policy is the same as the value of CT group policy.
Refer to "3.2.1 Modify CT Group Policy" for details.
Copy CT Policy
The policy that has been set for the client (CT),smart device (agent) or CT group policy can be copied to another client (CT) and smart device (agent) or CT group.
Refer to "Copy CT Group Policy or CT Policy" for setting method.
