The Task tab details the actions that are scheduled for each device within a job. The listed devices can be moved to change the order in which each device receives its updates.

The Tasks tab on the Schedule Job window is divided into two sections:

  • Task List with additional device information

  • Content of the configuration for the running device

Conflict Resolution

  • Before submitting a job, any job can be checked for Conflicts.

  • A Conflict can occur if a previous job had been scheduled, but not yet executed for a device in the current job. Conflicts should be resolved before scheduling to ensure overwrites of changes do not occur.

Commands

  • Commands can be inserted into any scheduled job (via the Command Editor), and executed before or after configlet or config tasks.

  • Commands help to validate the state of the device during job execution.

  • The Command icon opens the Command Editor. Duplicate Commands are created for each device in the job.
