Monitoring

The monitoring and management of submitted tasks is available from the main window of the program. There are two possible views to use that may be used interchangeably: the tabular one and tasks’ details one.

The tabular view allows to get instant information about basic parameters of execution of many tasks, while the task’s details view provides a possibility to get extended information about a selected task.

The views may be switched with double-click on a table / list row.
