Client Settings Policy

Learn how to create configuration changes on devices using client settings policies.

Client Settings can be used to create configuration changes for a Device Group or globally for all client devices.

An example of a common client setting is enabling driver patching:

• Patching Client System > Enable Driver Updates - Enable driver patching for BIOS and firmware. If set to true this will enable a client to perform driver updates.
