Access the Collect Tasks Folder in the DSM Explorer

You can create, configure, link, disable, check the status, and schedule the collect tasks in the Collect Tasks folder.

To access the Collect Tasks folder

1. Navigate to the following paths in the DSM Explorer depending on the level at which you want to view or configure the asset jobs:

   Group Level

   Computer Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, All Computers, Group Details.

   User Account Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, All User Accounts, Group Details.

   User Created Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, Group, Group Details.

   Computer Level

   Domain, Computers and Users, All Computers, Computer

   User Level

   Domain, Computers and Users, All User Accounts, UserAccount.

   Domain Level

   Domain, Control Panel

2. From the above paths, navigate to the Configuration, Collect Tasks folder.

   The collect tasks created at the group level are automatically linked to the member assets of the group. You can, however, disable the execution of such collect tasks at the asset level. Double-click a collect task to view the member assets on which the task is linked and their respective task status.

Note: You can link the tasks created at all these levels to any managed asset or group with the exception of the virtual host inventory collect task. 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.
