Create your own tasks
You can use predefined inventory polices to quickly start gathering inventory
data. You can use the predefined policies as they are or modify them. If you want
to modify a predefined policy, we recommend that you clone the original policy
and then modify the copy.
See "Using predefined inventory policies"
For more information, see topics about cloning policies in the Symantec
Management Platform Help.
See "About inventory policies and tasks "
See "Using predefined inventory policies"
To use inventory policies or tasks, you must install the Inventory plug-in on target
computers.
See "Preparing managed computers for inventory and metering"
Even though you will usually use policies, you can
create and use Inventory tasks. However, in most
cases, you will want to limit them to automated
tasks used in a workflow.
