Search Order

Use this page to establish the search order for the search policy. When searching for policies associated with a Server object, User object, or Workstation object, ZENworks® for Servers (ZfS) and ZENworks for Desktops (ZfD) will search the object, the object's groups, and the object's containers. The search order determines the order in which these will be searched.

Policy Search Order
The default search order is Object > Group > Container, where:

To change the search order, select an item in the list > use the arrows under the list to move the selected item up or down in the list.

Add
The Policy Search Order list contains a maximum of three items: Object, Group, and Container. If all three items are already in the list (the default), the option is not available. If you have removed one of the items from the list, you can click this button to restore it.

Remove
Use the Remove button to remove items (Object, Group, and Container) from the list. If you remove an item from the list, ZfS and ZfD will ignore the item when looking for policies that may be associated with an object.

For example, if you remove Group from the list, ZfS and ZfD will not search any Group, Server Group, or Workstation Group objects to see what policies the User, Server, or Workstation object may have inherited by being a member of a group. Instead, ZfS and ZfD will search for an object's associated policies only in the object and the appropriate containers as specified on the Search Level page.
