Minimum Required Authorization: Depending on the task
Tasks are used by PerleVIEW to perform a variety of functions. If you need to perform an action which is different from the one being performed by the default system task, you can create your own instance of task using this menu. As an example, you may be going through an expansion which will be adding devices over the next month in a particular subnet. In order to have PerleVIEW detect these devices quickly, you may wish to create a discovery task instance which only polls this subnet for any new devices. You could set this task to run every day in order to make sure that you detect any devices added during the day.
Creating new tasks allows you to deploy your specific parameters and scheduling for each instance of the task.
You can create tasks from many of the other menus as well. The end result is the same regardless of which menu item was used to create the task instance. For example creating a “Device Scripting” task from the “Devices” menu is the same as creating it from the “Tasks” menu.
