News
You can use the "News" option to enter news that are visible to all users on the start page. A heading and a text field are available.
Documentation
The "Documentation" option is used to save links and files for your own documents which have been modified for EM.
The documents can be opened via the "Documentation" option in the header of the EM console.
Events
Use the "Events" option to define which actions shall be initiated in case certain events occur, for instance, send e-mail notifications or initiate an action (e.g., launch an executable file or a PowerShell script) and also connect to the internal service management system.
The following events can be found within the respective categories.
Administration:
Distribution:
Inventory:
Packages:
For instance, e-mail notifications are sent once a data import from SCCM has been completed successfully. The following screenshot shows that this event has been activated by selecting a category of recipients under "E-Mail enabled".
Server
The "Server" option can be used to define configurations for the EM server, the e-mail server and the proxy server. E-mail server configuration is necessary to be able to send notifications. As of to date, the proxy server has not been assigned any function.
The respective EM services must be restarted on the server after changes have been performed!
Api Token
It is necessary to generate a token so that the EM SDK can be used securely. This token is mandatory in order to establish a connection between the SDK and EM Server. The "Create new token" button automatically generates a new key that can be used for authentication.
The documentation with detailed examples and functions can be easily accessed via %SERVERNAME%:9010/swagger. You can see all available methods in the overview and examples and tests are provided by clicking on each one.
