Policy-based distributions

Use client settings to drive the installation of packages through policies.

Client settings are a cross-platform data tag that can be used in a number of ways by the BigFix platform. For example, a client setting called Role might be set to 'Facilities Management,' and an action might be present to install an Autodesk client on Windows systems with that condition. This practice allows predictable, centrally managed, role-based software provisioning, and rapid return to the wanted state after an OS reimage or migration.
