5.2.2 Checking task statuses from the Tasks window
You can check task statuses from the Tasks window. Task statuses are displayed in the tasks list and the Flow area. Note that the Flow area and Task Details window do not appear in the History tab.
Users can follow the progress of a task by viewing the information in the tasks list. This information includes when the task started processing, whether it is currently in progress, and whether it has succeeded or failed. Only tasks for which the user has view permission appear in the tasks list.
In the Flow area, you can view the processing status of each step in a task. This area presents this information in flow format, allowing users to see how far a task has progressed. In the Flow area, you can view the status of tasks regardless of the version of JP1/AO that was used to create or import the service template.
Who can perform this task:
When the status of the submitted service is Release:
Users in the Admin role, Develop role, Modify role, and Submit role
When the status of the submitted service is Maintenance or Test:
Users in the Admin role, Develop role, and Modify role
When the status of the submitted service is Debug:
Users in the Admin role and Develop role
To check the status of a task from the Tasks window:
In the Tasks window, click the Tasks tab, History tab, or Debug tab.
Check the task status in the tasks list. You can sort the information in the tasks list in ascending or descending order by clicking a column header.

- Tip
In the Tasks tab and Debug tab, you can use the To Do feature to bring a task to the attention of an administrator. For example, you might mark a task as To Do when a problem has occurred during task execution. You can mark or unmark a task as To Do by clicking the flag icon. You can also use the Mark as "To Do" and Unmark "To Do" buttons in the Task Details window.
In the tasks list in the Tasks tab or Debug tab, select the row corresponding to the task whose progress you want to check.
View the progress of the task in the Flow area. The task progress is displayed above the icon for the step.

- Tip
In the Tasks tab and Debug tab, you can perform the same operation by selecting the Flow tab in the Task Details window.
You can display the flow of the hierarchy below a step by double-clicking the step icon in the Flow area.
When you place your mouse pointer over a step icon in the Flow area, the step name, status icon, status, start time, end time, and return value appear. Note that the return value only appears when the status is Completed or Failed.
If you check the progress of a task in flow format when all of the following conditions are met, the input values for repeated execution will appear blank. This means that the name of a repeated execution flow will be displayed as an icon in the format Step[repeated-execution-count]:
- The task includes a Repeated Execution Plug-in (repeated step)
- You executed the task in version 10-11 or earlier of JP1/AO, and have since upgraded JP1/AO
