Context Menu of the Activity Window

Cancel and Cancel (recursive)

Cancels the task and its subordinate tasks (such as a workflow). Cancel (recursive) also includes running tasks.

Workflows that have been canceled recursively obtain the status ENDED_CANCEL. Schedules end with ENDED_OK.

Collapse All

Closes all open branches of the tree structure in the hierarchical Activity Window.

Comments...

Opens a task's comment window.

Deactivate

Removes finished tasks from the Activity Window.

This command can only be used for:

• Individual tasks (they do not run within a workflow) that have already ended
• Workflows that do not include active tasks.

The deactivation process of workflows always includes all subordinate tasks.

Available for finished workflows that do not include any active tasks.

This command deactivates a workflow without considering superordinate workflows and it ignores the defined options for automatic deactivation.

Note that FORCED does not check whether tasks in sub-workflows are active.

A workflow's rollback function will fail for workflows, which have already been deactivated by the "Deactivate (forced)" function, as the sub-workflow will no longer be available in the Activity Window.

Delete Entry

Deletes the task that is waiting for the start of its group.

Detail

Displays a task's Detail Window.

Edit

Opens the corresponding object for processing. Note that changes apply for all executions and not only for the current one.

Restarts the evaluation process of the Preconditions tab of workflow tasks. The time interval (CONDITION_CHECK_INTERVAL - UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS) is reset.

This command is only available for workflow tasks that are in the status "Waiting for Preconditions".

Explorer

Opens an Explorer window that displays the folder in which the object is stored.

Export to File

Exports the current view of the Activity Window to a CSV file. By default, the name of the exported file is activities.csv.

Filter

Calls a filter that can be used to define the view of the Activity Window.

Forecast

Creates a new forecast for the task.

Go and Go recursive

Go starts the processing of workflows (sub-workflows are exempted), schedules, events or Queue objects. Doing so has the effect that tasks which were in a waiting condition now start.

Go (recursive) includes the tasks and sub-workflows.

Has the effect that the resources of this task are not checked or checked again.

The task starts immediately if it is in the status "Waiting for resource".

Preconditions of workflow tasks are no longer checked or deactivated.

This command is available for all workflow tasks that have not yet started.

Ignore SYNC

Specified Sync objects are ignored in this task.

Modify status manually

Changes the task's current status.

This command opens the task's PromptSet dialog in which you can modify the prompt values subsequently.

When the option Request task parameters is activated in RA jobs (RA tab), you can also modify the RA-specific values by using the PromptSet dialog.

An error message will appear when no PromptSet objects are assigned to the task or when the task is not an RA job in which the option Request task parameters is set.

While the task is being modified, it changes to the status Waiting for user input.

Modifying values after the task has been generated has no effect.

Modify AE priority

Changes the AE priority. Further information is provided in the document AE priority.

Monitor and Monitor Parent

Opens the monitor of the task (only applies for notifications, cockpits, groups, workflows, Schedules and Sync objects) or the monitor of the superordinate task.

Open generated job

Displays the result of a generated job.

Quit

Ends active Cockpit and Schedule objects.

Refresh

Refreshes the view.

Reload definition at period turnaround

Possible changes in the Schedule object are assumed at the next period turnaround.

Report

Calls the task's current report.

Event objects show the report of the event (Process) that has last been executed.

Restart

You can restart tasks that have already been executed and specify options.

Send To

If the administrator has defined calls for external programs or internal objects in the variables UC_SENDTO or UC_SENDTO_ACT, the Activity Window's context menu includes the menu Send To. You can select the program or object that should be called from the submenu. The codes of the previously highlighted task are assigned to them for further processing.

Statistics

Calls the statistics of the task.

Stop and Stop recursive

Workflow tasks are stopped with the exception of sub-workflows which remain active. Stop recursive includes tasks and sub-workflows.

The Stop command is also available for Queue objects. It causes the object execution to come to a hold.

Tasks run under the user who has started them. They can be assumed by any other user at any time and then be processed by this user. The system verifies that the user who assumes a task has an execution right for the corresponding object. If so, the task including all its child tasks that are active or in a waiting condition are assumed. This procedure does not affect tasks that have already ended. In this case, the user is not changed.

The report of all involved tasks includes the information that the user has been changed.

Note that only the top task's execution right is verified. Ensure that you have all the required rights and contact your administrator if you have any questions.

The privilege "Take Over Task" is required; otherwise this command is not available.

Unselect All

Tasks are no longer highlighted.

Workflow Control

These menu contains commands can also be called in the Workflow Monitor:

• Go Immediately
• Set Breakpoint
• Delete Breakpoint
• Skip Task
• Unskip Task
