4.2.4 Configuration Settings for the Management Zone

The Management Zone Settings panel lets you manage the global configuration settings for your
Management Zone. These global configuration settings are inherited by other objects (devices,
users, and folders) within your Management Zone and remain in effect unless they are overridden at
the folder or object level.
You should configure the global settings to accommodate the largest possible number of objects, and
then use the override option on any objects you want to configure differently. For example, you
should use the Device Refresh Schedule setting to define the schedule that you want the majority of
devices to use, and then override the schedule on individual devices or device folders if those
devices require a different schedule. This is the best practice for almost all Management Zone
configuration settings.
This section highlights configuration settings that you should consider setting at the global level,
then adjust as needed at the folder or object level. Not all settings are covered in this section because
they might not be relevant in your given situation, or they might differ greatly to what we would
minimally recommend. For more information, see
