When you click a task, a dialog appears to let you set task parameters or confirm the
task.
ATask type header: This header area shows you the kind of task represented.
BSaved task name: When you save a task, you name it for your own use.
CTask configuration area: This area is different for every task. It’s where you set operating
parameters for the task to be performed.
DParticipating computers: This area shows you the computers that will be affected by the task.
You can add or remove computers in this area without changing computer list membership.
ESchedule task button: When you click this button in a task dialog, you can set a time to
perform the task as well as repeat the task. See “Scheduled Tasks” on page 155 for more
information.
FSave task button: When you click this button in a task dialog, you can name and save the task
as configured. Saved tasks appear in the left side of Remote Desktop’s main window.
GTask templates: This control allows you to save current task configuration settings, or apply
previously saved settings to the current task. These templates are stored on a per-task basis.
For example, the Send UNIX Commands template pop-up has an extensive list of built-in
templates, while other tasks may have none.
