Select one of the following options to create a new Client Task:

•Click Tasks > Add > Client Task.

## Basic

In the Basic section, type basic information about the task, such as a Name and Description (optional). Click Select tags to assign tags.
In the Task drop-down menu, select the task type you want to create and configure. If you have selected a specific task type before creating a new task, Task is pre-selected based on your previous choice. Task (see the list of all Tasks) defines the settings and the behavior for the task.

## Settings

•Reboot computer(s)—select this check box if you want to reboot the client computer after task completion. If you want to shutdown computer(s), deselect this option.

You can configure the managed computers' restart/shutdown behavior. The computers must run an ESET security product that supports this setting.

## Summary

•Click Create Trigger (recommended) to specify Client Task Targets (computers or groups) and the Trigger.

•If you click Close, you can create a Trigger later—Click the Client Task instance and select Run on from the drop-down menu.

You can see the progress indicator bar, status icon and details for each created task in Tasks.
