Deleting network information based on inventory information
You can use Auto-deletion setting to specify whether network information is to be deleted on the basis of JP1/Software Distribution's inventory information. To handle a device for which no inventory information is collected by JP1/Software Distribution as having been deleted from the network, select Delete when there is no corresponding information in the inventory.
If the device information has been registered by a window operation, such as the case with UNIX computers and devices that are not connected to the network, you must select Do not delete when there is no corresponding information in the inventory. The default is Do not delete when there is no corresponding information in the inventory.
