Area	Menu Options	Description and Links
Dashboards		Access to all Dashboards.
Activity		Access to the Activity Monitor, which lists all active task instances; the data is automatically refreshed. From this list, you can view and edit any task instance. For non-Workflow task instances, you also can view output or rerun the task.

This task instance will appear twice on the History list, first for the time that it ran and failed and again for the time it was re-run to success. From the History list, you can display read-only details about any task instance on the list.
