Under Outgoing calls, you can define how Internet Security should treat outgoing phone calls. Checking Allow phone book contacts will always allow contacts with an entry in the device phone book to be contacted.
Under Filter mode, you can define specific measures for outgoing calls. Select Blacklist to allow all communication, except from the contacts that are on the list.
Select Whitelist to block all communication, except from the contacts that are on the list. By clicking Add contact, you can add any contact from the contact database to the list. Click Remove contact to remove a contact from the list.
If an attempt is made to call a blocked contact, the user will be informed and offered the possibility to request the contact to be released. This will add a report to the Reports module using which the administrator can directly add a blacklist or whitelist release for the contact.
4.4.5. Tasks
In the Tasks module, you can define tasks, or jobs, for the clients. All tasks generated on the G Data ManagementServer are referred to as jobs. There are two different job types: single jobs and periodic jobs. Single jobs are performed once at a specific time;
for the periodic jobs, a schedule is defined. You can define as many different jobs as you would like. For performance reasons, it generally makes sense that jobs do not overlap.
In the Tasks area, jobs be sorted according to the following criteria by simply clicking on the respective column header. The column according to which the list is currently sorted is indicated by a small arrow symbol.
Name: The name specified by you for the job. You can enter a name of any length.
Client: You will find the name of the corresponding clients here. You can only define jobs for enabled clients.
Group: If you assign a job to a group, the group name appears in the overview list rather than the individual computers.
Status: The Status column shows the status or the results of a job displayed in plain text. For example, you can see whether the job has just run or has been completed, and also find out whether or not any viruses were found.
Last execution: When the respective job was last run.
Interval: This column shows the cycle with which the job will be repeated according to the defined schedule.
Scope: Find out which media (e.g. local hard disks) the analysis includes.
To manage tasks, you can use the following options from the toolbar above the task list:
Refresh: Update the view and loads the current job list from the G Data ManagementServer.
Delete: Delete all highlighted jobs.
Single scan job: Define a single scan job for individual computers or computer groups. In the configuration dialog, the time, scope, and additional scan settings can be defined on their respective tabs. Double-click on the entry to change the parameters for an available job, or select the Properties command from the context menu (by right-clicking). You can now change the scan job settings to what you want.
Periodic scan job: Define a periodic scan job for individual computers or computer groups. In the configuration dialog, schedule, time, scope, and additional scan settings can be defined on the relevant tabs. Double-click on the entry to change the parameters for an available job, or select the
Properties command from the context menu (by right-clicking). You can now change the scan job settings to what you want.
Backup job: Define a backup job for individual computers or computer groups. For more information about backup jobs, see the chapter Backup jobs.

Restore job: This function allows you to restore backups to clients or groups.
For more information about backup jobs, see the chapter Restore jobs. The Restore function is only available as part of the Enterprise solutions.
Patch applicability job: List software and patches that have been installed on clients or groups. For more information about software recognition jobs, see the chapter Patch applicability jobs. The Patch applicability function is only available as part of the optional PatchManagement module.

For periodic scan jobs, this function runs the job immediately, regardless of schedule.
Logs: View the logs relating to a particular client's jobs.
