The Process Monitoring perspective is the main working area for operators and managers. It displays comprehensive data on active and inactive tasks. The Process Monitoring perspective provides tools to filter and group tasks and gives you access to the commands to work with them.
The list of Tasks displays the tasks that correspond to the objects to which you have rights, no matter who has started them. Right-clicking one or more tasks opens a context menu with the functions that are available to that task given its status and your user privileges.
The Process Monitoring perspective has the following main elements:
Navigation Pane
-
Tasks tab
Grouping criteria to restrict the number of tasks that are displayed in the list.
The Group By drop-down list at the top of the pane contains the criteria by which the tasks can be grouped. The grouping criteria are shortcuts of some of the filter criteria available on the Filter pane on the right side.
Example: When you select Group By: Queue and one of the Queues available, the Tasks list contains all the tasks processed by the selected Queue. When you use the Queue filter criterion in the Filter pane on the right and select the same Queue, you get the same result.

Services (SLO) tab
