Create a Task

Tasks are the lowest level items within an Insight Factory. Tasks can belong to a single optional Task Group and use a single Activity.

Tasks can be created through the User Interface or API. We recommend starting with the User Interface to get the hang of creating tasks. If there's a need to extract all the tables from a particular database, performing this using PowerShell and the API could be a better choice.

Task Config

Tasks hold a configuration object containing all the variables required for the chosen activity. Read the Activity Reference documentation for each individual activity to understand which variables are required. Where appropriate, store variables at the task group level to avoid duplication.
