Tasks

Tasks are used to perform a wide variety of operations and can be chained together in just any pattern. The tasks are handled by the Qlik Sense Scheduler Service (QSS). There are two types of tasks:

Reload
User synchronization

The Tasks overview lists all the available tasks. You can manage your tasks by performing a number of actions, as described in the following:
