Define image settings in System Image Utility on Mac

In the System Image Utility app on your Mac, use the Image Settings pane to configure image settings, such as network disk name, image description, and image index number. The available options depend on the type of image you are creating.

Network Disk				A name for the disk image. This name identifies the image in the Startup Disk preferences pane.
Description				Notes or other information to help you characterize the image.The description information doesn’t appear on the client Mac but rather on the NetInstall server.
Image index				Choose how you want to assign an image number: Assign a random image index: Generates a random value from 1–4096. If you select “Image will be served from multiple servers,” the number generated will be from 4097–65535. Assign a specific image index: Uses the value you specify.
Include macOS Recovery Partition				Select this option to include a macOS Recovery partition on the disk image. This option is available only for NetRestore images.
Volume				A name for the volume. This option is available when you are creating a NetRestore image from a macOS install app or a NetBoot image.
