network environment.

To create a custom Smart Setting:

1. Click Create.

A text box appears prompting for the name of the new Smart Setting.

2. Enter the new Smart Setting name.

A name may consist of up to 28 alphanumeric characters and cannot contain spaces (use

underscores for spaces in names).

The new Smart Setting is added to the list box.

4. Click Submit to save the new Smart Setting.
