Asset Jobs

An asset job directs agents to perform specific actions on a computer or when a user logs in. You can, for example, use asset jobs to run a script or command, and display a message.

Jobs can be created at the asset, group, and domain level. Jobs created at the asset level are linked to the respective assets, and those at the group level are linked to all the member assets in the group. At the domain level, you can view all the jobs in the domain, create new jobs, and link it any group or asset. You can create and link any number of jobs to a particular asset or group.

Append the following path to the Domain name in the address bar of the DSM Explorer window. In the following paths,

Asset/User Level

Assets–Domain/Computers and Users/All Computers/Computer/Jobs/Asset Jobs

Users–Domain/Computers and Users/All User Accounts/user/Jobs/Asset Jobs

Group Level

All Computers Group–Domain/Computers and Users/All Computers/{Group Details}/Jobs/Asset Jobs
All Users Group–Domain/Computers and Users/All User Accounts/{Group Details}/Jobs/Asset Jobs
User Defined Groups–Domain/Computers and Users/Group Name/{Group Details}/Jobs/Asset Jobs

Domain Level

Domain/Jobs

An existing job can be linked to any group or computer. Hence, the folder under which a job is created is irrelevant.

Navigate to the asset jobs folder to see the available jobs and their scheduling options.

Note: For more information about job types and creating and editing jobs, see the Asset Management section of the DSM Explorer Help.
