As an administrator setting up the system: first, you create servers. You then create collectors that you can assign to servers. You run the collectors to populate the server manifests. After you complete those tasks, build engineers can create projects that use selectors to determine where project steps run.
Each server resource points to a host that has an agent installed on it. When you add a server resource, you are describing how the Management Console accesses and uses a specific host.

The Details tab provides the following fields:
The Manifest tab shows various server properties. It provides a default set of properties. You can include additional properties by using a collector.

The Notes tab provides a convenient location for storing and sharing comments about a server.
