The Tasks screen in Automate MFT provides a centralized interface for managing and monitoring file transfer tasks. It is organized into several key sections:
  • The Folders panel allows users to browse and organize tasks by folder.
    • The All Tasks view displays every task in the system that the user is authorized to access.
    • Users can create custom folders to organize their tasks based on their requirements and preferences.

      Tasks added to custom folders also remain in the All Tasks folder. Tasks cannot be added to more than one custom folder.

  • The main panel displays the Task List or Activity View.
    • The Task List view presents a tabular view of tasks. The displayed columns are based on the selected column filters. The default selection includes task name, tags, schedule, currently assigned agent/agent pool, parent folder, source endpoint names, and destination endpoint names.
    • The Activity View presents a tabular view of task activity and shows more data that the Task list view. The displayed columns are based on the selected column filters. The default selection includes task name, tags, schedule, currently assigned agent/agent pool, last execution start time, last execution status, last execution downloaded files count, last execution size of downloaded files, last execution uploaded files count, and last execution size of uploaded files.
