Client workstations that are correctly connected to ERAS and
displayed in ERAC can be configured and administered using various
types of tasks.
The general workflow below applies for all tasks described in
the following sub-chapters except the Interactive Task (see the
chapter for an explanation of the workflow).

multiple clients, or to one or more groups of clients.
