(2) Settings in the Register ID by Using User Inventory Item dialog box

You can register a client to an ID group on the basis of the user inventory information reported by the client. Only the items managed on the local server and on higher servers can be specified in policies. There is no limit to the number of policies that can be set.

The time required for executing automatic maintenance of ID groups depends on the number of policies that have been set. The following shows the formula for estimating the time required for automatic maintenance of ID groups:

(Number of ID groups registered by policies x 15) + (number of jobs executed by target ID groups x 50) + 20 (milliseconds)
