NetworkBrain Download

The NetBrain team builds many intents for common technologies and other automation resources such as ADT, auto intent, Dashboard. The system will automatically download these resources if the auto-update is enabled (you can manually download these resources if the auto-update is not enabled or your system is not connected to the Internet) and the task files (Configure Orchestration), which can be executed to copy and install resources. Alternatively, users can manually create and download or import library to share the library across domains. NetworkBrain Download also enable users to manage and perform operations on tasks in a Library.
