Task Programming & Planning
Being able to execute tasks is the heart of the proVconnect management
One of the mainstream capabilities all management software needs to possess is the ability to send a single command or a series of commands to devices instructing them to perform certain tasks - be they simple or complex in nature. proVconnect is fully equipped to issue these commands and to track their status. The functions, commands and command queues that can be constructed within proVconnect can be saved as tasks that can be used in isolation or as recurring tasks intended to deliver actions on a repetitive basis.
Tasks can be simple affairs, such as asking a series of devices to change their display wallpaper, or they can be slightly more involved, such as joining a domain. Tasks can also be highly detailed, such as running scripts to install applications.
The administrator chooses commands from the Available Commands tab, located on the left of the main Device Listing display. The Available Commands tab is activated when the mouse is hovered over the tab area and consists of a number of top-level functional areas, each with several commands.
you can access the task planning module by clicking on the command List tab on the left of the console
the different commands are grouped by type
