The General tab defines the basic properties that identify the task and determine the data collection behavior. The connector type selected here controls which additional settings become available in the Configuration tab.

 

•Connector Type
This required field determines how data is provided to the task. Use the searchable dropdown to select a connector type. The dropdown displays each option with an icon, title, and short description to help identify the correct type. The first group of entries contains the special task types (such as Container for incoming data and Data Transformation), followed by all other available connectors in alphabetical order. Typing in the dropdown field filters the list in real time. Selecting Container for incoming data creates a passive task that does not collect data automatically; the Configuration, Advanced, and Schedule tabs will not be shown for container tasks. This is the appropriate choice for tasks that receive data via REST endpoints or manual CSV uploads. Not all connector types may be available; the actual selection depends on the product configuration and licensing. More on that in chapter Connectors.
 

•Name
The name of the task. It must be unique in tenant scope, and should describe what the task does.
 

•Dataset name
This is the base name of the data set where the data extracted by the task data collector will be saved. If the result of data extraction is a single table, that table will be available under the name specified in this field. Otherwise, the set name is used as a prefix, and the task data collector appends a unique suffix for each table. For example, if the dataset name is ActiveDirectory, the result tables will be named ActiveDirectory-Users, ActiveDirectory-Computers, etc. More information can be found in the Naming Conventions chapter.
 

•Description
An optional free-text field to document the purpose of the task.
 

•Folder
If the task is meant to be in the root folder, leave this field empty. Otherwise, select the parent folder in which the task will be saved.
 

•Owner
An optional free-text field to record the owner or responsible party for this task.
 

•Agent
Selects the Data Hub Agent that will execute this task. This is a required field for all tasks configured for automated data collection. The agent picker displays available agents together with their connection and authorization status. For Data Transformation and Container task types, Server mode is also available as a selection option, which runs the task directly on the server without requiring a separate agent.
