Using ViewSonic Device Manager
Establishing a Basic Administration Environment
NOTE
• For instructions on how to configure your ViewSonic Device Manager to use remote
snapshots on another computer for client management, please refer to section
"3.2.7 Configuring Remote Deployment Settings" on page 26.
Another scenario is when you copy a snapshot file set from the installation directory of another ViewSonic Device
Manager into the same installation directory of your ViewSonic Device Manager, this snapshot may not appear as an
entry in the Snapshot list.
NOTE
• The default installation directory of ViewSonic Device Manager is C:\Program
Files (x86)\ViewSonic. All snapshots taken or imported through ViewSonic Device
Manager are placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\ViewSonic\snapshot, under an
uppermost dedicated folder.
To synchronize entries in the Snapshot list with your local or remote snapshots, please do the following:
1. On System tab, click Deployment > Snapshot.
2. The Snapshot list appears in Management area.
3. Click Scan Snapshot on the top of the list.
4. On completion, the snapshot is added as an entry in the Snapshot list.
