Tasks List and Statuses

The left-hand pane of the Tasks tab shows the list of existing operator tasks with the following information:

Task status and name
Status details (last status change and due date)
Who created the task

You can sort tasks in the list by clicking one of the column headers. When sorting by status, tasks having the same status are sorted oldest on top. Tasks in the following statuses are highlighted in red to indicate they require attention: Closed for missing license, Expired, or Ready to be closed.

Status	Meaning	Available Actions
`Idle`	Initial status. Task is available to be started.	Start (status becomes `Deferred` or `Checking Precondition`.)
`Deferred`	The Start command was clicked but the task is waiting for the delay configured in the Start date (In or At option) before it executes the commands. When the Start date is reached status becomes `Checking preconditions`.	Abort (task becomes `Failed`.)
`Checking preconditions`	The system is checking the security and access rights for executing the commands: If all the commands can be executed, status becomes `Executing Commands`. Otherwise the task goes back to `Idle`.	-
`Executing commands`	The commands in the task are being issued. When done the status becomes: `Failed` if all command failed. `Running with exceptions` if at least one command failed. `Running` if all commands were issued.	Abort (task becomes `Failed`.)
`Running` `Running with exceptions`	The commands in the task were all issued successfully. Or some of the commands in the task were issued successfully, but there was at least one error. When the task duration countdown timer expires (due date reached), the status becomes `Waiting for conditions`.	Adjust the task due date. Close the task. (status becomes `Closed`.) If available, manually Revert the task before the due date is reached.
`Waiting for conditions`	When the task due date is reached, the system waits for the conditions resulting from execution of the commands. If the conditions are met, the status becomes `Ready to be closed`. If the conditions are not met, the status becomes `Expired`.	-
`Aborting`	The Abort command was clicked, (status becomes `Failed`.)	-
`Reverting commands`	The Revert command was clicked, or the task started reverting automatically after reaching its due date. Commands are being executed to set the properties back to their original state	Abort (task becomes `Failed`.)
`Ready to be closed`	The task has finished (due date reached), and conditions resulting from execution of its commands were met.	Close (task becomes `Closed`.) Revert (if available)
`Closed`	The Close command was clicked, after successful or unsuccessful execution of the task. In this status you can delete the task to remove it from the list, or duplicate it in order to run it again.	Delete the task. Duplicate the task.
`Closed for missing license`	The license expired while the task was executing. If you still want to execute the task, you can duplicate it. Otherwise you can delete it to remove it from the list.	Delete the task. Duplicate the task .
`Expired`	The task has reached its due date but the conditions resulting from execution of its commands were not met.	Change the task Due date, this will cause it to automatically restart. Manually satisfy the conditions by executing the commands from the Operation tab. Close the task. Revert the task (if available).
`Failed`	The run of the task was cancelled, or all the commands executed with errors. NOTE: In this status, the condition will not be verified.	Start the task again Close the task Revert the task (if available)
