Scripts
Scripts allow you to deploy identical configuration items to many devices. You can view configured scripts from the Script menu. For example, if all of your devices use identical administrator access profiles, you can create the access profile once as a script, and then deploy the script to all devices which should use those same settings.
The Script tab allows you to upload and deploy configuration scripts.
