Create a Task by Copying an Existing Task
You can edit a task in the task list by creating a copy of the task and modifying its settings in the Conversion
or the Configuration wizards. The settings for the original task appear at each step of the wizard so that you
can reuse or change them.
NOTE You can copy only tasks that were created with the Converter Standalone client.
NOTE You cannot copy running conversion tasks for powered-on source machines.
Procedure
1 Select a task in the task list.
2 Select Task > Copy As New.
3 Follow the prompts to modify the task settings.
4 Click Finish to add the new task to the task list.
Cancel a Task
You can cancel a task in the queue or a task that is in progress.
When you cancel a conversion task, the task is removed from the queue. Canceling a configuration task removes
it from the queue and reverts the source machine to its original state.
Canceling a task in progress does not suspend it. You cannot restart a canceled task. However, you can create
a copy of the canceled task and add it to the task list to run it again.
Procedure
1 From the task list of the Task view, select a task.
2 Click Cancel.
The task is now out of the queue and the time of cancellation appears in the End Time column.
Delete a Task
The Delete option removes a task from the task list.
The Delete option does not work for queued tasks or tasks in progress.
