Use the Settings Management section to create, modify, and delete settings profiles. Settings profiles allow you to create groups of configuration settings for software installed on the managed devices in your environment. A settings profile consists of customized configuration settings for devices, which include settings related to applications, operating systems, and hardware. By creating or modifying a settings profile, you can analyze and parameterize configuration control data for targeted products.
Once you create and/or modify settings profiles, they can be deployed to the targeted systems where the relevant software is installed. In HPCA Enterprise, Settings Profiles are listed as services and can be deployed to targeted machines through policy entitlement, similar to the deployment of other services.
Once settings profiles have been created and deployed, it is possible to see summary reports about the software giving administrators visibility to the run-time data of this software. See Settings Management Reports.
