DHCP Server Configuration is tied into the Resource Manager. To add a DHCP Server to ProVision, you can either use the "Create a New DHCP Server" dialog area from the DHCP Tab.

Type the server name, then under "Select Customer", choose the resource to which the DHCP server belongs. This creates a hierarchical relationship, with the server as a child resource under the selected parent.

If the DHCP is enabled for a Gadget is attached to the Resource Section, you can also use the DHCP toggle function to enable this functionality.
