Viewing information in the monitor

As well as providing a high-level summary of all your tasks, the monitor also lets you view more detailed information about specific tasks.

To switch to monitor view:

   A list of tasks is displayed for the current project. The left pane of the monitor allows you to filter the task list by status as well as indicating the current number of running, failed and completed tasks.

   

   For each task, the monitor displays the following information:

   • Status - Running, Completed, Failed or Aborted.
