Creating and Editing User-defined Tasks
You can create User-defined Tasks and add one or more templates to each task.
The template, in turn, is associated with the Meta-Data Framework (MDF) categories of devices, for
which these templates will be applicable.
The templates contain configuration commands and rollback commands (see Creating Rollback
Commands). You can enter the configuration commands either by typing them or by importing them
from a file.
You can create a new task and add one or more templates to it. You can also add templates to an existing
task. You name a task when you create it, and it is saved for future use. You can copy, edit, and reuse
your tasks. You can assign access privileges to tasks while or after you create them (seeAssigning Tasks
to Users).
You cannot add User Defined Templates to System Defined Tasks.
After you successfully create a User-defined Task, this task will appear in the Task Selector of the
NetConfig Job creation wizard, and you can create a job using the task. For details on the Task Selector
and job creation, see Step 2 in Starting a New NetConfig Job.
