Overlaps occur when both a template and a device are assigned an identical value for the same attribute or field. For example, the index of a user name is true in template A, and the index of a user name is also true in an
MPE device. The result is that when the template and the device are associated, the index of the user name becomes an overlapped field. When an overlap occurs, a prompt opens stating that the configuration overlaps with an associated template. The user can take one of two actions:
- Remove the overlaps and use the settings from the template.
- Keep the overlaps and use the settings from the server.
