Phase 7. Assign Systems
The client systems that must communicate with HaloENGINE should be registered in the admin portal using a unique ID. Please note that if you enable the monitor without configuring a System Unique ID in Assign Systems, the Monitor log in HaloENGINE will not be updated.
Follow the below procedure to add a system type:
On the left navigation bar, click Customer Configuration and then select a customer ID from the list.
On the Profile Configuration tab, click Configure and then on the Profiles and Classification tab, click Configure. From the profile list, click on a profile, and on the Assign Systems tab, click Configure.
To illustrate and showcase the list of system types available in the portal, a license generated with all client types is uploaded. However, in a typical business environment, you may only have one or a few system types depending on the environment. That implies that by default, only the systems that you have licensed will be displayed.
