  • Run One2Many tasks
Note: DMG files must contain only the application that you want to install.
  1. In Central, go to the One2Many > Tasks page.
  2. Click Create Task.

    Result: The Create Task page is displayed.

  3. Under Select for Mac, select Install or update software.
  4. Name the task in the Task name field.
    Since you may end up with many saved tasks, be sure to use a clear and specific name.

    • To save your task and create a new plan that will be used to run the task, click Save and continue
    • To save the task without assigning a plan, click Save and close (you will be able to assign a plan later)
