General

Containers are used to categorise Clients into groups. This allows you to map your corporate structure, for example, or differentiate between mobile and local Clients. You can assign Jobs, Rules, Updates and Client Commands to each grouping of Clients, providing flexible, dynamic support for each Container. Clients can be assigned either statically or dynamically. Assignments are made using pre-defined filters that allow individual settings for each Container.

Containers also offer continuing features that enable targeted control of the Clients they contain. Firstly, Containers can be sorted according to their priorities. This allows you to influence and control the order in which the different Jobs, Client Commands, Updates and Rules are processed. Secondly, you can use the network status to delay or prevent execution by assigning the Clients to different groupings.
