Open the Task Manager for a detailed view of the status of tasks running against the current repository. View metadata about the tasks including the type of task, status, and percentage of completeness. You can run a search to find specific tasks. For example, search on tasks run on a certain date, by a certain user, or for a certain activity.
Note the following when working with the Task Manager:
- The Auto Refresh menu controls how often the task metadata is refreshed. The setting persists for as long as you are logged in to the current repository.
- Most tasks in the Task Manager are also displayed in the Background Tasks view in the Control Center.
- You can export the metadata of one or more tasks shown in the Task Manager as a .CSV file to your client system or server. See Exporting Tasks.
