Automation task item
About
All administrators can access the Automation tasks view where they can manage Automation task items. Other users are not allowed to do that by default. Editors however, can be permitted to access Automation tasks view and manage Automation task items by adding them to the "Report builders" user group.
The automation task items can be used to:
schedule the automatic sending of report builder reports by email to recipients
schedule the automatic package deployment to the assets listed in a report builder report
set, update or reset the timestamp value of custom attributes for assets that are listed in a report builder report
status change for the group of assets which is defined in a report builder report
The automation task "Miradore built-in history data collector" collects and stores historical data about the managed environment to be used in dashboard widgets for reporting purposes.
