AutoMate Tasks
Tasks are the step-by-step instructions for automated execution of IT processes.
An Automate Task is a sequence of execution steps created in Task Builder, which provides an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface for building automation applications. Steps are created by dragging-and-dropping automation AutoMate Actions from a palette and placing them in the sequence desired for task execution. Actions include the capability for variables, arrays, if/else decision-making, looping and more for truly dynamic operational processing.
In AutoMate Professional, Task Builder contains over 160 actions. In AutoMate BPA Server, Task Builder contains over 230 actions. Network Automation also releases plug-ins that add actions to Task Builder. AutoMate Plug-ins generally provide automation functionality and support for third party applications.
