Manage your Automated Tasks

After a task has been created, it displays in Tasks, and remains listed until the task is deleted. From the Tasks list, you can also run, edit, or delete any tasks that have already been created, depending on your privileges.

Column Header Descriptions

Name: The name of the task, which was entered in the Task tab. (Sortable)

Status: The current status of the task. (Sortable)

Next Run: The date and time at which the scheduled task will run next. Never displays if the tasks will not run again. If a task does not have another run date scheduled, it can still be run by clicking the Run icon at any time.

Last Run: The date and time at which this scheduled task last ran. (Sortable)

Result: The outcome of the most recent execution of the scheduled task.

Succeeded: The task completed successfully.
Failed: The task did not complete successfully.
N/A: The result is not available because the task has not run yet.

Actions: The action chosen for the task. If there were two actions scheduled within one task, they will both display in the one record as tasks are displayed by task name.

Studies: The study with which the task is associated.

Created By: The user ID of who created the task. (Sortable)

Created: The date and time the task was created. (Sortable)

Sort the Tasks List

By default, tasks are organized by the Name, in ascending alphabetical order.

Sortable columns: Name, Status, Last Run, Created By and Created.

Click the column header to sort based on that column in ascending order.

Click again to toggle from ascending to descending, and vice versa.

Expand Task Details

Click the side arrow at the left of the Task name to expand the task and see the full task details.

Once expanded, the arrow becomes a down arrow and you can compress the task again to hide the details.

Task Actions

At the far right of every task, three icons allow you to run, edit and delete a task respectively.

Run: Click the Run (play) icon to run the task immediately, outside of its scheduled date and time if scheduled.
Edit: Click the Edit (pencil) icon to edit the details of the task.
Delete: Click the Delete (trash) icon to delete the task.

Note: You cannot edit or delete a task that you did not create, unless you have Admin privileges.

Manually Cancel a Task

Task actions that persist in a running status can be canceled. A Cancel icon will appear for tasks that have not been completed and have not failed.

Note: Users must have the System Administration privilege to cancel tasks.

From the Tasks list, click the side arrow next to the name of the task to expand the task details.
Click the Cancel Task icon. A Cancel Task window opens.
Click Yes.
