About tasks in the global monitoring bar
The global monitoring bar is a convenient method for reviewing and managing task information. Task
status links include a number indicating a task count, and provide easy access to the following task
categories:
• Waiting
• In Progress (In Progress, Stopping, Stopping Immediate, Canceling, or Deleting)
• Completed (Completed, Canceled, or Stopped)
• Failed
Clicking a task status link will display a dialog box where you can review and manage listed tasks.
Filtering and display controls in the dialog box are the same as in the Tasks & Alerts tab. The
management options available in the dialog box depend on the task status category. For example,
you can stop an in progress task, but the stop option would not be available for completed or failed
tasks.
Also, you can control which tasks are visible from the task status links.
Configuring displayed tasks from the global monitoring bar
You can configure the visible tasks seen from the task status links using a cut off date, or the history
tab.
1. Click Failed or Completed and specify a cut off date using the Edit Duration button, so that
newer tasks are displayed, and older tasks are not displayed.
The cut off date serves as a filter for the tasks from the Tasks & Alerts tab, and takes effect imme-
diately when you select a new date, and click ok. You can change the date to restore older tasks
to your view.
2. Click Failed, select failed tasks, and click the Move to History button to reduce your list.
The tasks are moved to Tasks & Alerts, History tab. The Move to History button is also available
in the Tasks & Alerts tab and applies to all task types, not just failed. In general moving tasks to
the history tab reduces the task list to those items that are newer, or more relevant. You may also
select failed tasks and click Delete Tasks to permanently remove them.
Managing alerts
This module describes how to view, confirm, and manage alerts.
