You can save your tasks in a private task list that only you can access, or in a public task list that everyone can access.
What you should know
When you save a task, the query filter settings, the task layout (report pane column order, canvas layout, and so on), and the entities displayed in each tile are also saved.NOTE: The query results are not saved. They are regenerated every time you run the query.
The benefits of saving a task are as follows:
- You can close your task, and reload it with the same layout when you need it.
- You can share public tasks with other users.
- You can use public tasks as a report template with the Email a report action.
To save a task:
-
Right-click the task tab, and click Save as.
NOTE: The Save as button is only available if your report query filters are valid. You know that your query is valid when the Generate report button is activated.
-
In the Save task dialog box, select how you want to save the task:
Private tasks:
A private task is a saved task that is only visible to the
user who created it.
Public tasks:
A public task is a saved task that can be shared and reused among multiple Security Center users.
-
(Optional) To save the task in a folder on the Private tasks or Public tasks
page, click Create new folder, type a name for the folder, and then click Create.
If you select the Home folder, or if you do not select a folder, the task is saved on the main page of the Private tasks or Public tasks page.
-
Enter a name for the saved task, or select an existing one to overwrite it.
Example: You can save a Monitoring task that displays your parking lot cameras with the name Parking lot - Monitoring, or save an investigation task that searches for video bookmarks added within the last 24 hours with the name Today's bookmarks.
-
(Only public tasks) Select the partition that you want the task to belong to.
Only users that are members of the partition can view or modify this public task.
-
Click Save.
After you finish
- To save changes you make to the task, right-click the task tab, and click Save.
- If you change the task layout (for example, resize or hide report columns), you can revert to the layout used when the task was saved by right-clicking the task tab, and clicking Reload.
