Task Details

Overview

Tasks provide a way to execute Pipelines in a reusable manner. 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:

  • Scheduled

  • Triggered

  • Ultra

Viewing 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.

  3. See the Details Reference for a description of information displayed on the Details page.

  4. Alternatively, click Activity Log to see when the Task is created or modified.

    Since the Pipelines executed by Tasks are run in an unattended mode, you can receive notifications of Task activity by specifying 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 is not available on the project-level page.

Duplicate Task Runs

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.
