Tasks are made of a number of properties, most of which are optional. Basically, you must define at least a profile, a message, and an action for each task, the rest is optional. See below a description of each property.

Main task properties

• Profile: the profile to be used.
• Message: the message to be used.
• Action: the action to be taken on task activation, which means plainly: what do you want to do when a program or resource in the profile list is executed by someone:
  • Do you want to close it immediatelly before anyone can use it? Protect
  • Do you want to warn the user? Warn
  • Do you want to do nothing, but keeping track of usage? Register Only
  • All of them? Protect & Warn
  • Or do you want to password protect it? Password
• Schedule: defines the date and time when the task becomes active. By default: always active.

Password properties

• Allow access to all resources: After entering the right password the user will be able to access all the resources in the profile. Thus, you can create password-protected profiles which include all the applications and resources available to a particular user, or purpose.
• Tip: You can use the executable name of a program, but you can also use the title, in which case the protection would work even if the executable name is modified.

Optional task properties

• Users: the name(s) of the user(s) to be monitored, separated by comma if more than one. Leave it blank to monitor all users. Exceptions can be added by using a hyphen before the name. For example "-john, <all>", meaning all users except for "john".
• Command: the command to be taken on task activation:
  • Log off: logs the user off.
  • Reboot: restarts the system.
  • Shut down: shuts down the computer.
  • Screen saver: starts the configured screen saver.
  • Block mouse and keys: pressing keys or clicking with the mouse has no effect. Press the hotkey (by default Ctrl-Alt-W) to unblock.
  • Lock Workstation: causes the logging screen to appear without logging off any users. The currently logged user must re-enter the password (if applicable) to continue.
  • Snapshot: takes a desktop snapshot. To view snapshots open the Historic window: select a task and press Ctrl-V.
• Run: the file to be opened on task activation.
• Priority (advanced users): from low to high, being normal the default position, suited for the majority of tasks. Switch to high when you need to close applications by using window titles instead of application names; when protecting a window is not working because you get an "are you sure" question, for example.
