Use the Worklet™ option to perform any scriptable action on devices, including disabling a vulnerable process, managing native OS controls, mass rollback of patches, and moving unwanted applications. You can also now configure reboot notifications and deferral settings for worklets.
Note: Before you create a worklet from scratch, browse the Worklet Catalog for available and customizable worklets.
Creating a Worklet
To create a worklet, follow these steps:
- From the main console, click Manage > Policies.
- Click Create Policy.
- Click Worklet > Next.
- Click the OS for the worklet you are creating.
Note: The worklet you create should be run on a device of the same OS. - In the Policy Info area, configure the following:

- In the Notes field, enter any notes, if required.
- (Optional) Set filters under Device Targeting, as needed.
- In the Evaluation Code area, enter a script for the worklet you are creating. For example worklets, click the Community Worklets link directly in the console. For Automox Verified Worklets, see our Worklet Catalog.
Note: If you switch to a different OS, the code fields are automatically cleared. - In the Remediation Code area, enter remediation logic to execute when the evaluation code above returns non-compliance.
- If relevant, you can also upload a software installation file for your worklet.
