Task Template Management
HP Device Manager uses Task Templates as the vehicle of communication between the server and agents residing on thin client devices. A Task Template is an XML file that contains information about a task. XML is a standard data format that can be shared easily across applications and platforms - especially between those on separate operating systems that need to share data.
All the Task Templates in the system are displayed and managed in the Template Pane.
