# Configuring the Enterprises

The **Enterprise** for Catalogic DPX is a total system including nodes, backup devices, media volumes, administrators, and so on.

There are two ways to add, edit, or delete your Enterprises: **auto configuration** and **manual configuration**.

To open the Enterprise Configuration window, select the Configure tab and then select Enterprise in the task panel.

## Elements of the Configure Enterprise Window

The pane displays the Enterprise resource tree of nodes in the Enterprise. You can drill down to various levels by clicking the plus to the left of a resource icon. If you click an icon or name other than the Enterprise, its edit dialog appears in a pane on the right side of the Configure Enterprise window.
