Task Wizard settings
Set task wizard settings if you have target systems already selected, and you want to bypass the Verify
target systems page when running a tool. When no settings are configured and a tool is selected with
target systems already selected, the Verify target systems page appears.
To configure task wizard settings:
1. Select Options→Task Wizard Settings. The Task Wizard Settings page appears.
2. Select Bypass target verification page when all targets are valid.
3. If the target verification page includes the options to run now or schedule, select either Run Now or
Schedule. If you select Run Now when a tool is selected, the tool runs immediately. If you select
Schedule when a tool is selected, the Schedule Task page appears. See “Scheduling a task” for
more information on scheduling a task.
Note: This option is only relevant for tools that do not require user input beyond the targets selected for
the tool, such as Ping and System Page. If the selected tool cannot be scheduled, the Run Now option
is used for the tool.
4. Click OK. A dialog box appears stating that the settings have been saved.
