Using Software Delivery › Custom Administrator Message

Custom Administrator Message

You can use software delivery to create, define, and associate a text message to a job container, individual jobs (activities within a job container), or both at the time of creating a job container. You can also add the text message for a procedure of a software package. The message is displayed to the end users during the execution of the associated job container and its jobs. You can use these messages to convey appropriate information to the end users, for example, you can provide the following information in the message:

• Inform end users about the purpose of the task that is being performed on the target computers.
• Inform end users about any specific actions that you (as an administrator) want to perform on the target computers before or after the task.
• Inform end users about any specific actions that they (end users) must perform before or after the task.
• Include hyperlinks in the messages to direct end users to the appropriate resources for more information.

Note: For more information on how to define and associate a custom administrator message, see the Software Delivery section of the DSM Explorer Help.
