Task Template Management
HP Device Manager uses Task Templates as the vehicle of commu-
nication between the server and agents residing on thin client
devices. A Task Template is an XML file that contains information
about a task. XML is a standard data format that can be shared easily
across applications and platforms - especially between those on sep-
arate operating systems that need to share data.
All the Task Templates in the system are displayed and managed in
the
Template Pane.
