Task details

Overview

Tasks provide a way to execute pipelines for resuse. You can view task information (such as run policy, path, and permissions) from an admin perspective. You can also access information about pipeline runtimes along with their statistics useful for analysis.

The display of information depends on the following types of Tasks:
  • ScheduledScheduled Task Details
  • TriggeredTriggered Task Details
  • UltraUltra Task Details

View information about a task

To view information about a task:

  1. Navigate to the target Project where the task resides.
  2. Hover over the task name and click to open the menu, then select Details. The Task Details page appears.Asset Task Details
  3. View the Details Reference for a description of information displayed on the Details page. Alternatively, click Activity Log to see when the Task is created or modified.

    Because the pipelines executed by tasks are run in an unattended mode, you can receive notifications of Task activity. It's a comma-separated list of email addresses in the Create Task dialog. If you are on the tasks page under a project, the list displays the type of task in the Run Policy column. This column isn't available on the project-level page.

    If a Task fails to start with the same reason for multiple times in a row, then subsequent skips are not displayed on the Task details page.
