  3. Description: Taken from the Windows Computer Name, you can edit descriptions to make the computer identifiable and the list more readable.

  4. Computer Name: The Windows Computer Name as known to the network and as collected by Spector 360 recording. If a computer has not yet been recorded, it does not appear in this list. You can add computers that will be recorded in the future.

  5. Domain: The domain network to which the computer belongs. This field is blank for a computer that is not on a domain.

Only a Master Login can edit the computer description, add, import, group, or delete computers.
