Running a scheduled task
1. From the tool menus, select Tasks & Logs→View All Scheduled Tasks. The All Scheduled Tasks
appear in the workspace.
2. Select a task from the list, and then click Run Now.
Note: If an instance of the task is running, the Run Now button is disabled.
Editing a scheduled task
1. Select Tasks & Logs→View All Scheduled Tasks. The All Scheduled Tasks page appears.
2. From the All Scheduled Tasks page, select the task to be edited.
3. Click Edit.
The previously configured task information appears. Follow the same steps as if you are creating the
task. For more information, see “Creating a task”.
Because the task has a schedule associated with it, you must access the Schedule Task Page. The
Run Now button is not present (as it is when a task is being created). Users with administrative rights
can change the owner of the task.
If the new owner does not have access rights to the tool or to selected targets, an error message appears
when the user attempts to edit or save the task.
4. After you edit the task, click Done, or to run the task immediately, select the Run Now checkbox on
the Schedule Task page before clicking Done.
This task is saved and appears on the All Schedule Task Page.
