Symantec ALTIRIS 7.0 SP2 - MANAGEMENT SOLUTION Manual page 155

Assigning multiple Altiris 6.x software packages to software resources
resources to deliver them with any of the following 7.0 delivery methods: Quick
Delivery, Managed Software Delivery, or the Software Portal.
See "About assigning 6.x software packages to software resources"
For more information, see the topics about delivery methods in the Software
Management Solution Help.
You can assign multiple 6.x software packages to software resources at the same
time. If you migrated numerous 6.x software packages, you can save time by
assigning multiple packages at the same time. When you assign multiple software
packages, a package assignment task is created. The package assignment task lets
you add packages and edit any of the packages before you assign them to software
resources. After you assign packages to software resources, you can then access
each software resource in the Software Catalog and edit its software resource
data.
You can also assign a single package to a software resource. Use this method if
you only have a few packages to assign to software resources.
