The Assignment Tab

This tab shows the configuration group and a list of the software groups to which the selected computer belongs.

The Register Empirum Server Tab

In the Empirum Server tab you can assign one or several Empirum servers to a computer. The assignment is necessary to define on which Empirum Servers (Depots) the configuration files of the computer are synchronized. The assigned servers are also used for the Advanced Agent Fallback Server feature. Only direct or inherited Empirum servers are available as fallback servers for the Advanced Agent.

Empirum servers may also be assigned to Groups.

• Available Empirum Servers: Lists all computers which have the computer role Empirum Depot Server or Empirum Master Server assigned.
• Assigned Empirum Servers: Lists all servers assigned directly to the computer. The order of the servers can be arranged and will be used by the Advanced Agent fail over feature.
• Group Empirum Servers: Here you can view the assigned Empirum servers of parent groups; they cannot be edited and are inherited.

The Additional Information Tab

Displays all information that the computer has been assigned.

The AUT Tab

Under this tab, you can view the data gathered for this computer by means of Application Usage Tracking (AUT).

• Epirum Packages: All software packages which are distributed via the Empirum Software Management.
• Virtual Applications: All virtual applications which were distributed via Empirum.
• Other Applications: All applications which were not distributed via the Empirum Software Management.

The AUT option records when a user has used a program for the last time, how long the program has been in use in total (runtime) and how long the user was actually active in this program or in the package to which this program belongs.
