What you should know

Some Security Center tasks can only have one instance, and other tasks can have multiple instances that can be duplicated. Single-instance tasks cannot be renamed.

To open a task:

  1. From the home page, do one of the following:
    • Enter the task name in the Search box.
    • Click the Tasks tab, and then click Browse all tasks
    • To open a saved task, click the Private tasks or Public tasks tab.
  2. Click the task.
    NOTE: To open the task in the background, press Ctrl and click the task.
    If only one instance of the task is allowed, the new task is created.
  3. If more than one instance of the task is allowed, enter the task name, and click Create.
    The new task opens and is added to your task list.

  4. (Only Administration tasks) If the task contains more than one entity view, select a view to configure.
    Tasks that allow you to configure more than one entity are indicated with a plus sign on the task icon.
