Tasks Tab

The Tasks tab shows the status of requested tasks. You can perform the following tasks:

View the details of a task by clicking the task Name link, which opens the Task Details dialog.
Filter the tasks by using the Show drop-down lists.
Delete completed tasks and all associated files.
Update the list by using the Refresh button.
Create task management policies to archive and delete tasks.

The tab lists the tasks in subtabs:

Current Tasks lists active tasks and finished tasks that have not been reviewed. The tab provides further filtering when you select the Start Time check box. When you clear a check box, the corresponding filter is removed.
You can click the Name link to review a finished task. A reviewed finished task moves to the Task History tab. (Click the Refresh button to see the task that has been removed from the list.)

Note: If you perform a task and leave the task dialog open until the task finishes, the task is deemed to have been reviewed and appears in Task History.
Task History lists all reviewed finished tasks. The tab provides further filtering when you select the Start Time or Stop Time check box. When you clear a check box, the corresponding filter is removed.
Audit Task History lists all deleted tasks represented by corresponding audit tasks. The tab provides further filtering when you select the Start Time check box. When you clear a check box, the corresponding filter is removed.
- If a single task is deleted, the Name column displays the description for the deleted task.
- If multiple tasks are deleted, the Name column displays only task IDs for the deleted tasks.
Manage History lists task management policies. Policies are used to archive and delete tasks and can be run manually or scheduled. The tab provides you with the ability to create, edit, delete and execute policies.

The Current Tasks and Task History subtabs contain the following action:

Delete Task

Deleting a completed task removes it from the list of tasks, deletes any associated files from the file system, and creates an audit task with information about the deleted task. When you start the task deletion, all other users are prevented from viewing the task and its details.

If you delete a task that is being viewed by another user, a notification message appears, and you are prevented from deleting the task. You can either wait until the notification message disappears (in this case, the task will be immediately deleted), or click Cancel to select another task.

You can act on more than one task using the action link. You can select all listed tasks using the check box in the header row.
