6. To assign the imported package to one or more groups:
a. Click Groups on the Import Type page. The Select Groups dialog box appears.
b. Mark the check boxes of the groups to assign the package to.
c. Click OK.
Note
If you will use Group Distribution, it is best to add packages to groups on the Group
Properties dialog box. The order in which you add packages to a group on the Group
Properties dialog box can affect the state of the package check boxes during
distribution.
7. Click Next on the Import Type page.
The Package Details dialog box appears.
8. Complete the dialog box:
.POL File
The file you specified is displayed.
Application Name, Package Name
Normally, an application can have multiple packages. However, for best results
when working with Group Policy Objects, create one application/package
combination per Group Policy Object. Enter the application and package name
to use for this Group Policy Object in the Software Manager database.
Policy Type
Because the .POL file does not contain the root registry key in which the Group
Policy Object key is installed, you must specify it here. Select User
Configuration if the GPO key is installed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, or select
Computer Configuration if the GPO key is installed in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
9. Click Finish.
The Wise Task Manager dialog box appears and remains open until the operation is
completed. However, you can close or minimize the dialog box and continue your
work in Wise Package Studio. From this dialog box, you can view a log file for the
import.
The Group Policy Object you selected is imported to the active Software Manager
database. During the import process, errors are displayed as they are encountered.

You can import an SOE Snapshot file (.SOE) from a network or local drive into the
Software Manager database to represent the base software of a computer in your
organization. This lets you look for conflicts not just between applications, but also
between applications and the operating system.
