After a computer is added in Portal, you can configure settings for the computer. Settings include vault settings, retention types and email notifications.
Many of these settings can be configured using policies. A policy is a collection of settings for computers and jobs that Admin users create and assign to computers. See Create and manage policies.
You can specify settings for a computer on the Computers page in Portal. You can also start configuring a computer by clicking a link in the Dashboard notification for a new computer.
