Commands:
Commands are the building blocks which automate/perform a task. A task can be anything ranging from turning on mobile data to more complex ones like managing a calendar etc.
Properties of Command
-
Name: This specifies the name of the command which can be used to run it from the command menu.
-
Description: An optional description can be specified which can help in finding the commands.
-
Requires Password: If a command is a sensitive one, you can enable this option. This will always authenticate the user before performing the command.
