Result view

The result view is structured into a tabular format. The results are grouped by the Company and the Task group.

Help_Home_screen_task_run_viewer

Result columns:

  • Task - Represents the task run.

  • Status - The task run status.

  • Scheduled - The scheduled time for the task run to be processed.

  • Started - The start time of processing the task run.

  • Finished - The finish time of processing the task run.

  • Pending (ms)

  • Duration (ms)

  • Trigger - Displays the trigger for the respective task: Manual, Scheduled, GET, POST. More about the task triggers can be found in the Help center > Configuration > Tasks. If the task is triggered by an endpoint, additional information will be displayed in the Trigger column about the task run start: Method (POST / GET), Start task Synchronously or Asynchronously (Sync / Async).

In addition to the values of the result display columns, there is an action button with a three-dot symbol at the end of each row, which always offers one of the following options:

  • Cancel - action to cancel the selected task run. Displayed for in progress task runs only (status ID 1xx).
  • Restart - action to restart selected task run. Displayed for finished tak runs only (status ID 2xx and 3xx).
  • Unpark - action to unpark selected task run. Displayed for parked task run only.

The Task Run viewer can be automatically refreshed at a set frequency of 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec, and 5 min. If the frequency is set to None, data refresh must be executed manually.

Multi-select and Autorefresh

Multiple tasks can only be selected when autorefresh is set to None. However, multi-select is not possible if autorefresh is active, meaning the page refreshes after a set time ( 10 sec, 30 sec, etc.).

If you check one or more tasks with the same status (Finished, In progress, or Parked) in the left part of the viewer, an action button (Cancel, Restart, or Unpark) will appear in the upper right part of the screen. This button can trigger an action for the checked tasks, so you can quickly work with a group of checked tasks.

If tasks with different statuses are checked, you will be informed that tasks with the same status must be selected.

Clicking on the single task run opens the filtered Task history view displaying the selected task run details. The detail of the selected task run provides information on Scheduled time, Started time, Finished time, Trigger, Wait time, Execution time, Task run ID, Execution status and the Log.

Filters

The task run viewer includes built-in filters to narrow down the result data set. Every filter has multiple value selection feature available. If more values are selected within one filter, logical operator OR applies among the selected values. The visibility of the values to select in the filters are driven by the user access rights. The administrators can see any company, task group, and task in the filters. The standard users can only see the values related to the companies they own or have access to. E.g. the company owner, can filter on the tasks realted to the owned company.

You can enter the built-in filters by clicking the button on the left side and opening the modal dialog window.
