Create Task

The Create Task drop down menu button is the main tool for all possible actions (tasks) with devices. Successful action results in a queued job.

This chapter provides an explanation of what each dropdown menu item does and how to use it.

FIELD NAME	ACTION	DESCRIPTION
Update firmware	Update selected firmware version | Select First Field	You can Upload the required firmware version over the Files menu, if you have the firmware uploaded already, task can be assigned by selecting required firmware version. .

View Tasks

This menu provides an opportunity to observe the status of a TASK.

Tasks are successfully queued job, meaning that there was no error parsing user’s request to make an ACTION.

If there are multiple jobs assigned for a single device – FOTA shall execute them one by one. Each time a job is completed FM shall reconnect to FOTA immediately and if another job is awaiting – attempt to complete it.

The order of job execution is as follows:

1. Blackbox log
2. Continuous log
3. Firmware upgrade
4. Configuration download
5. Configuration upgrade

Meaning, that if you set all 5 jobs – the device will first upload BlackBox log, then continuous log and only on 3rd reconnect to FOTA the firmware shall be upgraded.

Relevant possible error’s that you may encounter after creating a task

TASK	ERROR	DESCRIPTION
Config assignment	Configuration file mismatch device's platform.	Configuration file is not applicable to this type of device model. Select config file that works on this particular device, e.g. FMB64 config for FMB64 device model.
Firmware	Firmware file does not exist or information about firmware is missing. Please re-upload firmware file.	Re-upload the firmware and try again. Should error remain – contact us (your Sales representative) for assistance.

In an unlikely event, any other type of error would appear – it should be reported back to us.

Filter

Filter is designed to both: (1) filter out a list of devices based on combinations of parameters, (2) and to make bulk ACTIONS.

You can select/filter devices by:

• Company
  
• Group
  
• Device Model
  
• Firmware version
  
• Job status
  

Under Active Filters section you shall see current filters that have been selected.
Each of the Active Filters can be removed individually by clicking on a particular filter, or they all can be removed together by clicking Reset all.
Active Filters shall maintain current configuration until manually Reset, meaning that navigating through various FOTA menu’s Active Filters shall remain as last configured.

Bulk assignment

Once Active Filters section has any number of parameters, the ACTIONS dropdown button automatically displays how many devices have been filtered. It allows to assign jobs to all selected devices.

In the example below, you can see 119590 devices being filtered.

Clicking on ACTIONS and then selecting a task, say Firmware upgrade, would assign a Firmware upgrade job to 119590 devices.
