Configuring Asset Management › Collect Tasks › Link Existing Collect Tasks

Link Existing Collect Tasks

If you want to perform the same collect task on various assets, you can create the collect task once and link it to all other assets. You can link the collect task created at the domain level, group level, and asset level.

Note: A collect task created at the domain level can be dragged and dropped on to the target assets.

To link an existing collect task to an asset

1. Navigate to Computers and Users, All Computers, Computer, Jobs, Asset Jobs.

   All the collect tasks linked to the computer appear.

2. Click Link Existing Collect Task in the Tasks section.

   The Select Collect Tasks dialog appears.

3. Select the collect tasks to be linked and click OK.

   The selected collect tasks are linked to the asset.

Note: A virtual host inventory collect task can be created only for an asset or agent that has the AM remote agent (AMRemoteAgent) installed, and it can be linked only to other agents of the same OS class. For example, a virtual host inventory collect task created for a Windows agent can be linked only to other Windows agents.
