3. Click Automatic Inheritance in the side navigation bar.
4. To allow new target devices to inherit group membership and properties from the appliance,
select Allow new target devices to inherit the group memberships and properties from the
corresponding appliance.
5. Click Save.
When automatic inheritance is enabled, the following occurs:
• When you use the Add Unit Wizard to add an appliance, you can specify the group for which
you want the appliance to belong. Attached target devices will inherit these group
memberships. Or, you can select Do not inherit group membership. See Adding a single
managed appliance on page 116. Properties are not inherited at this time because the new
appliance does not yet have any properties assigned.
• When new attached target devices are discovered using automatic topology synchronization,
the Resync Wizard or the update topology task, the new target devices inherit group
memberships and location, contacts, notes and custom field properties from the appliance. For
more information about these operations, see Automatic topology synchronization on
page 131, Resynchronizing units on page 315 and Task: Update topology for selected units on
page 331.
