Installing objects
Objects can be manually installed to all devices that are currently using that object. Partial install must be enabled in the CLI for this option to be available.
To enable partial install:
In the FortiManager CLI, enable partial install::
config system global
set partial-install enable
end
To install objects to devices:
-
Locate the objects to install.
-
Select the objects then click More > Install Object(s) in the toolbar, or right-click on the objects and select Install Object(s).
The Install Object(s) dialog opens.
-
Select the target devices.
-
(Optional) Click the Install Preview button to preview the installation.
-
If you attempt to install an object that is not used in a policy, the device list displays No record found.
-
If you attempt to install an object with invalid configuration, Install Preview displays the configuration errors.
-
In Install Preview, metadata variables used in objects display the real value.

Administrators with a restricted profile can use Install Preview for partial installs.

-
Click Install. The objects are installed to the selected devices.
