Object Commands

Overview

Most object types in ACM have one or more Commands that perform specific tasks on demand. This page will discuss how to access and use these commands.

Accessing Commands

Commands are accessible using the following methods:

Configuration Object Tab

This tab is located on the configuration screen when viewing or editing an object. If the tab is not present, then the object does not support commands.  See below for more information on executing commands.

Menu Tree Right-Click

This option is available by right-clicking on an object in the main object tree listing. Any commands that are present will be listed in the middle section. Commands present here do not use any parameters and execute immediately with feedback. See Command Feedback below.

Send Multiple Commands

This feature allows a common command shared by a common object type to be executed in mass against multiple objects. See Multiple Commands.
