To create a task in the Web Console:

1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Click Add.

   The Task Wizard starts.

3. In the first step of the Wizard, perform the following actions:
   1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.1 for Linux.
   2. In the Task type drop-down list, select the type of task that you want to create.
   3. In the Task name field, enter a name for the new task.
   4. In the Devices to which the task will be assigned section, select the method for defining the task scope. The task scope comprises the devices on which the task will be run:
      • Select the Assign task to an administration group option if the task is to be run on all devices included in a specific administration group.
      • Select the Specify device addresses manually, or import addresses from a list option if the task is to be run on the specified devices.
      • Select the Assign task to a device selection option if the task is to be run on devices included in the device selection according to a predefined criterion. For information on how to create a device selection, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help system.

   Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

4. Depending on the selected method for defining the task scope, perform one of the following actions:
   • In the administration group tree, select the check boxes next to the required administration groups.
   • In the list of devices, select the check boxes next to the required devices. If the required devices are not listed, you can add them in the following ways:
     • Using the Add devices button. You can add devices by name or IP address, add devices from a specified IP range, or select devices from the list of devices detected by the Administration Server when polling the corporate LAN.
     • Using the Import devices from file button. For the import, a TXT file with a list of device addresses is used, where each address must be on a separate line.
   • From the list, select the name of the selection containing the required devices.

   Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

5. To configure the task settings immediately after creation, in the last step of the Wizard, select the Open task properties window after creation check box. A task is created with the default settings.
