Repository | The Repository is a collection of elements which may consist of |
| software components, system images, diagnostic tools and agent |

| Repositories (the "FTP Repository"). |
Task | A task, or job, is the scheduled action to execute Task Templates to a |
| device or group of devices. To create a task, just drag and drop the |
| desired Task Template from the template pane to a device or a group |
| of devices in the device tree. Once executed, the details of the task |
| will be displayed in the Task Pane and the summaries will be |
| displayed in the Summary Pane. |
