For all of these object types, you can click a Schedule for Later button at any step in the Wizard to commit the currently defined settings for the new object to a new Grid Manager task. For example, consider creating a new IPv4 network. After defining the IP address for the new network, you simply wish to create it and not to define any further configurations. Click Schedule for Later to skip the intervening Wizard steps and display the final Scheduling page of the Wizard, an example of which appears in the following Create Network Schedule for Later page figure.

Scheduling Create Object and Port Configuration

...

The final step for creating the Network, Fixed Address, Host, or IP reservation is to define when the task executes, including associated port control definitions. The port configuration is performed in a separate task, defined on the same wizard page. The port configuration task can be done at the same time that Grid Manager provisions the object, or may be scheduled for a later time.

Grid Manager displays a scheduled task icon next to an object that is associated with a scheduled task (except for the addition of an object), as shown in the below Icon for a Scheduled Task figure. When you mouse over the icon, an informational dialog box appears displaying the type of action, the date and time of the scheduled task, and the person who scheduled the task.
You can click the icon and Grid Manager displays the corresponding editor (for modification) or the Scheduled Deletion dialog box (for deletion) in the read-only mode. If you are viewing a task that you scheduled, you can modify and save the schedule, but you cannot modify the configuration of the object. If you are not the owner of a scheduled modification or a superuser, you can only view the information. You cannot reschedule the task. If you are not the owner of a scheduled deletion or a superuser, Grid Manager does not display the Scheduled Deletion dialog box when you click the icon.
