The List of Tasks

The Tasks list provides the most important task information at a glance. The following system parameters govern it:

COMBINED_ACTIVITIES_LIMIT

Determines the maximum number of tasks that can be displayed

Default: 500

If a filter results in more than 500 tasks, the top bar displays Tasks (500+) (flat view) or Top-Level Tasks (500+) (hierarchical view). Fine-tune your filter to reduce the number of tasks.
GENERIC_ACTIVITIES_LIMIT

Determines the maximum number of tasks that can be returned in requests

Default: 5000

A + after the number of tasks in the top bar indicates that a request has returned more than the maximum number of tasks that can be displayed. Use the task filter to restrict this number.

System administrators define both parameters. For more information, see UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS - System-Wide Settings.

By default, the tasks are sorted by RunID in descending order. To change it, click on the caption of the column by which you want to sort the tasks.

The list displays the default columns. Additional columns are available but hidden. You can have them displayed by clicking the arrow button on the column header. For more information, see Working with Tables.

An arrow to the left of the task indicates that it task has sub tasks. For example, Workflows, Schedules and runtime objects display this arrow. Click it to expand the contents of the parent task and see its children. For information about runtime objects, see Cyclical (C_PERIOD) Tasks and Runtime Objects.

Right-clicking a task opens a context-menu with all the functions that you can perform on it. Many functions allow you to select multiple tasks and right-click to perform a particular function in bulk. Some of the most important functions are also accessible via button on the toolbar.
