Objectives

This document will teach you how to use Xcalibur Global to setup My WBT on the client device. My WBT is a customized WBT Configuration screen in which only specifically selected tabs are accessible to the user.

The method taught will be based on the following steps:

  1. Select the OU containing the target device.
  2. Create an Xcalibur Policy that is linked to the selected OU.
  3. Configure the Xcalibur Policy to create a customized device settings display (My WBT).
