Personalized Task Templates, based upon these categories, can be edited, deleted, imported or exported to create customized specific tasks for devices.

A set of standard ’blank’ task templates are provided which are listed under various categories according to their function in the Template Pane. The names of standard templates begin with the "_" (underscore) character, for example: _File and Registry.

To create or edit a task template:

1Double-click an existing template in the Template Pane, or right-click a template then select Properties from the pop-up menu.

2Specify your requirements for the template using the options available. To clear a value of the target device, leave the corresponding field for that value blank on the template.

3When you have finished defining a new template, click the Save as button and enter a name for the new template.

4Click OK. The new template will be created and its name will appear in the Template Pane.
