Profile Manager Sleep and Screensaver Options

I am trying to setup preferences for a group of computers on my network and when I am in Profile Manager and go to configure the payload for "Energy Saver" when I change either one of the options for "Put The Display To Sleep" or "Put The Computer To Sleep" it automatically changes the other to match. I want to NEVER put the computer to sleep, but I do want to put the display to sleep after so long so that the user's desktop doesn't burn into the screen. We are just upgrading our system from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and Mavericks Server and I haven't done a whole lot of work in Profile Manager. Everything else I've done seems to work fine, but this one has confused and frustrated me.

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

filing this under me too.

not sure how this passed QA. Also... for anyone having to deal with compliance issues... a 15 minute option would make life easier.

This one is pretty simple. Open your profile manager profile either by machine group or user group and go to the energy saver tab. Computer to sleep and screen to sleep are separate options. At least profile manager is useful for one thing I guess.
