Importing a task

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console allows you to import a task from a KLT file. The KLT file contains the exported task and its settings.

To import a task:

1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Tasks.
2. Click the Import button.
3. Click the Browse button to choose a task file that you want to import.
4. In the opened window, specify the path to the KLT task file, and then click the Open button. Note that you can select only one task file.

   The task processing starts.

5. After the task is processed successfully, select the devices to which you want to assign the task. To do this, select one of the following options:
   • Assign task to an administration group

     The task is assigned to devices included in an administration group. You can specify one of the existing groups or create a new one.

     For example, you may want to use this option to run a task of sending a message to users if the message is specific for devices included in a specific administration group.

     If a task is assigned to an administration group, the Security tab is not displayed in the task properties window because group tasks are subject to the security settings of the groups to which they apply.

   • Specify device addresses manually or import addresses from a list

     You can specify NetBIOS names, DNS names, IP addresses, and IP subnets of devices to which you want to assign the task.

     You may want to use this option to execute a task for a specific subnet. For example, you may want to install a certain application on devices of accountants or to scan devices in a subnet that is probably infected.

   • Assign task to a device selection

     The task is assigned to devices included in a device selection. You can specify one of the existing selections.

     For example, you may want to use this option to run a task on devices with a specific operating system version.

6. Specify the task scope.
7. Click the Complete button to finish the task import.

The notification with the import results appears. If the task is imported successfully, you can click the Details link to view the task properties.

After a successful import, the task is displayed in the task list. The task settings and schedule are also imported. The task will be started according to its schedule.

If the newly imported task has an identical name to an existing task, the name of the imported task is expanded with the (<next sequence number>) index, for example: (1), (2).
