Use a code snippet in a delegated form task
To help you setup the delegated form task we supply our code snippet library. With this you can easily add snippets of codes that are pre-built to do an action on a system.
Go to the delegated form task (see Add a task to a delegated form).
Click on Code snippet library.
On the Code snippet library tab, you can search for PowerShell snippets. Click Copy to clipboard to copy the snippet, or click its title to view its code, readme, and release notes.
