Overview

An administrator (with proper authority) can create a new NRT Default parameter.  This parameter is written to the SQL Server database and is inherited by all properties and machines which share this database.

Inherit Parameter Data

hierarchy

There is a hierarchy within BackOffice.
This hierarchy might best be displayed as
a triangle, with "NRT Defaults" at the top, "Properties" next, and then Machine Groups and "Machines" at the bottom.

A property inherits the "NRT Defaults", unless it overrides a param value with a property parameter.

A machine group inherits the "Property" parameters, unless it overrides a param value with a machine group parameter.

A machine inherits the "machine group" parameters, unless it overrides a param value with a machine parameter.

Note  Notes:  1.  The NRT default parameters are configured by an NRT administrator and cannot be changed.
2.  An administrator, with proper authority, can add new NRT default parameters.  (read more)
3.  At the machine level you are limited to overriding existing parameters selected from a list.

Add New Parameter

The page allows you to add a new NRT default parameter, which will be inherited by all properties and machines which share the SAME database.

Add New Parameter

1. Parameter ID Enter parameter ID.  (cannot duplicate an existing parameter ID)
2. Parameter Data Click the edit parameter data button to enter the parameter data.
3. Comments Enter comments.  (describe parameter, what it does, and possible values)
4. Parameter Group Select a parameter group from the list.
5. + Param Editor Param editor not available when adding a parameter.  (see notes below)

Edit Parameter Button Click edit parameter data button to enter the parameter data into a textbox.

Note  Notes:  1.  A new parameter is updated on machines immediately, so no option to wait for scheduled update.
2.  + Parameter editor not available for a new parameter, only the textbox entry of parameter data.




An administrator, with proper authority, can add a new parameter using BackOffice.  This new parameter will be added to the NRT default parameters.  This parameter will be inherited by all properties which utilize the same SQL Server database.  This new parameter cannot be deleted from within BackOffice.
