Task Management
Purpose
This dialog window shows a list of all tasks related to ESW distribution. Tasks can be retried, aborted or deleted depending on their status, and task details can be displayed.
Finished or aborted tasks can be deleted, provided the FOXMAN‑UN user has the required access rights.
Tasks have sub-tasks, for which a detailed list is displayed in the lower part of the dialog window.
