Console Preferences window: Prompting Preferences page
This topic describes the Console Preferences window: Prompting
Preferences page.
Introduction
Use this page to specify when you want to be prompted
for confirmation when attempting various tasks and operations. These prompts
are provided as a safety net against accidental deletions.
Fields
- Prompting Options
- Ask for confirmation before deleting any easily recoverable item
- When this option is selected, IBM Director prompts
you before deleting an item that could be recreated or restored easily, for
example, users or discovery preference settings.
- Ask for confirmation before deleting any item that is recoverable with
moderate effort
- When this option is selected, IBM Director prompts
you before deleting an item that could be recreated or restored, but would
require a moderate effort to restore, for example, event action filters, actions,
and plans, or software distribution settings for server shares.
- Ask for confirmation before deleting any nonrecoverable item
- When this option is selected, IBM Director prompts
you before deleting an item that cannot be restored or recreated, or an item
which, if deleted, can cause other information or settings to be lost, for
example, license keys, scheduled job execution histories, and files.
- Show scheduling prompt if applicable
- When this option is selected and you request to start a noninteractive
task, IBM Director prompts whether
that task should be performed now or scheduled for a future time.
- Ask for confirmation for every task attempted
- When this option is selected, IBM Director asks
for confirmation before starting tasks to allow you to ensure the task you
meant to start is the one starting.
- Ask for confirmation for all tasks launched only by a drag and drop operation

for confirmation before starting tasks initiated by dragging an object onto
a task, which enables you to verify that the correct object was dropped on
the task.
- Ask for confirmation before exiting the IBM Director Console

for confirmation before exiting the IBM Director Console.
This option provides protection against accidentally closing IBM Director
