Description This article describes how to set up new units into installation target in FortiManager to push policy packages. 
Scope FortiManager.
Solution

To push the policy packets the units have to be added in the Installation Targets from ADOM -> Policy & Objects -> Select Policy Package Profile (e.g.,default) -> Installation Targets. If the list is empty or the targeted unit is not in this list, the unit may not appear in the list while pushing policies, and may show a 'No Preview' or 'No record found' message instead.
After selecting the Installation Target, it is necessary to edit the option.
