The following Subclient properties can be configured to suit the particular Data Collection and cost analysis needs for your organization:
You can rename a user defined subclient.
The SRM Cost Analysis feature set allows you to calculate the cost of storage and assign these costs to the appropriate Billable Entity that is using that storage. For more information on Cost Analysis and Billable Entities, see Cost Analysis.
You can assign the subclient as a Billable Entity for cost analysis purposes. For step-by-step instructions, see Assign a Subclient as a Billable Entity.
You can configure the content of user-defined Subclients to be a specific subset of the client data (for example, directories or volumes). Keep in mind that content configuration is not applicable for Default Subclients. However any content that you do not distribute to the user-defined subclients will remain in the default subclient.
Filters can be configured to allow specified portions of the content to be excluded from the Subclient and supports the use of Regular Expressions (i.e. wildcards). For more information on Filters and Regular Expressions see, Content, Filters, and Regular Expressions.

Mailbox content for the SRM Exchange Agent is initially assigned to the Default Subclient, which contains all mailboxes residing within Mailbox Stores in Storage Groups on the Exchange Server. When User-Defined Subclients are added, the Mailbox content on the client is divided among the subclients through the process of Mailbox Affinity, which auto-discovers and assigns newly discovered mailboxes to the desired subclients. For more information, see Configuring Mailbox Affinity.
Public Folder content for the SRM Exchange Agent is initially assigned to the Default Subclient, which contains all public folders residing with Public Folder Stores in Storage Groups on the Exchange Server. When User-Defined Subclients are added, the Public Folder content on the client is divided among the subclients through configuration of the subclient properties Public Folders tab and the Agent Content Selection dialog.
