Task Instances are not to be confused with Tasks, which are displayed on the My Tasks page. |
The Activity List shows all Task Instances included by the selected Filters. On the bottom left, the table indicates the number of records found and last time refreshed. On the bottom right, you can select the page to display. The table will also respond to your scroll wheel or touchpad, allowing you to scroll through the list of Task Instances page by page.

The Taskboard provides three additional filters for displaying Task Instances: My Business Services, Tasks, Task and Types, and Business Services. In each filter, you can select a specific entry or search via freeform type.
The My Tasks Business Services Filter allows you to display all Instances of belonging to a given Task Business Service. The Task Tasks and Types and Business Services filters work similarly, allowing you to display all Instances of a given Task or Type, or all Instances belonging to a given Business Service, respectively.

Task Instances are not to be confused with Tasks. To view the details of a Task definition, rather than a specific Instance, use the Task Definition command or go to the Task Details page from My Tasks. |
At the top of the Task Instance Details page, you can see the name of the Task Instance and how it was launched. Below, you can view the Agent and time information. The buttons to Retrieve Output and Re-Run function the same as the corresponding actions in the Command Menu in the Activity List.
The box on the left conveys additional information such as Status and Type. The Task Instance Status is displayed in the top left, and the whole box is colored to match this Status (in this case, blue for Success). In the bottom right of the box, you can see the Task Type and Instance number. The Type is also indicated by the icon in the box (in this case, Tux the Linux penguin).
