Settings for tasks (continued)
Description Option
Opens the task editing dialog box so you can view or edit the task.
When you edit the task itself instead of its settings, any other instances of that task
are also changed. For example, you create a Package Delivery task to install an FTP
client and you add that task to several Managed Software Delivery policies. If you
change that task in one Managed Software Delivery policy, the change affects that
task as well as all the policies that contain it.
