System templates
The Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates pane allows you to create and manage device profiles. A system template is a subset of a model device configuration. Each device or device group can be linked with a system template. When linked, the selected settings come from the template and not from the Device Manager database.
By default, there is one generic profile defined. System templates are managed in a similar manner to policy packages. You can use the context menus to create new device profiles. You can configure settings in the widget or import settings from a specific device.
Go to the Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates > default pane to configure system templates.
