schedules for an existing catalog.
In Step 7 under Section 22.2, "Creating Catalogs," on page
clicking Finish or Next.
If you clicked Finish, the catalog was created without assigning devices to it, setting special flags, or
specifying deployment or update schedules for the catalog. Before the catalog can be deployed or
updated on assigned devices, you must complete the following steps. If you clicked Next, you have
already performed the following procedure as part of the catalog-creation process.
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Bundles tab, select the desired catalog in the
Bundles list by clicking the box next to its name, click Action, then click Assign Catalog to
display the Devices To Be Assigned page.
2 Assign the catalog to the devices that you want to distribute the catalog to.
2a Click Add to browse for and select the appropriate device objects.
You can also select Folder or Group objects.
2b Click the down-arrow next to Servers or Workstations to expand the list, then click the
underlined link in the Name column to select the desired objects and display their names
in the Selected list box.
Assigning a catalog to a Folder or Group object is the preferred method of assigning the
catalog. Assigning the catalog to a large number of objects (for example, more than 250)
might cause increased server utilization.
