Skip to main content
The Editing Client page for a Windows Client is split across many tabs. This page maps each tab to what it configures and where the detailed guide for it lives — useful because those guides are split across the Administration and Session Monitoring tabs of this documentation, matching how the settings themselves are organized (recording-related parameters vs. everything else).

​
Before you start

1

Open the Client

Log in to the Management Tool as a user with the Client Configuration Management permission, click Clients, and click the Windows Client’s name in the Client Name column.
Use the Search box and filters at the top of the Clients tab to find a specific Client quickly.
2

Understand Custom vs. Inherited settings

On the Properties tab, the Settings Type drop-down determines whether this Client’s settings are Custom (edited individually) or Inherited from <Client group> (locked, and updated automatically whenever the Client group’s configuration changes).
3

Save your changes

After editing any tab, click Next to proceed to Client group membership, permissions, and alert assignment, then click Finish. Changes apply immediately to online Clients, and as soon as an offline Client reconnects.
