7.1.6 Tasks
The Tasks view lets you monitor and manage tasks existing on the registered machines. You can view
tasks' details, their states and execution results, as well as run, stop and delete tasks.
To find out what a task is currently doing on a machine, check the task execution state. The status of
a task helps you to estimate whether the task is successfully accomplished.
To learn more about task states and statuses, see the Task states (p. 178) and Task statuses (p. 179)
sections.
