The Task Administrator the central tool used to administer AutoMate. Use the Task Administrator for the following:
-Viewing of Event Log
-Manual running of tasks
-Configuration of trigger events and other task settings
-Naming and organization of tasks
-Modification of global system settings
In the Professional Version of AutoMate, the Task Administrator is capable of remote administration. That is, the capability to connect to other machines running AutoMate across a TCP/IP network (such as a LAN or the Internet). When connected to a remote machine, the tasks and settings displayed are those of the connected machine, not the local system. To use remote administration, select File | Connect and enter the machine name or IP address of the remote AutoMate installation. For more information, see "What Is Remote Administration".
Although nearly all aspects of AutoMate's operation are controlled from the Task Administrator, there is one important element that is not. That is, the actions that the task should perform once the task runs (either manually or by being triggered). For this, there is a specialized task design and testing tool called the Task Builder. The Task Builder is displayed when the "Edit Steps" button is selected from the Task Properties from within the Task Administrator.
