Task Window Messages
If any background task cannot be successfully
completed, the Task window comes to the fore-
ground to notify you. The incomplete task is
shown in the Paused Tasks pane of the Task win-
dow.
Because the Task window is a floating window, it
does not interrupt current work. This allows you to
continue recording and editing, and postpone file
management until a more convenient time.
Task Window Views
The Task window provides a maximized and min-
imized view.
To toggle between maximized and minimized
views:
 Click the View Toggle icon in the top of the
Task window.
Task Window Tools, Columns,
and Displays
The Task window menu provides commands for
Task window operations.
The following data is always displayed in the Task
window (both views):
Item Name Indicates affected item, whether a file,
database, or other supported item.
Status Action being taken (for example, copying,
processing, indexing and so on).
Progress Indicates the progress of the task or its
sub-tasks, which include assessing the size of the
items and the estimated amount of time necessary
to complete the task.
Progress Indicator Indicates processing is ongo-
ing.
Quantification Shows percentage of progress of
the current task.
Active Tasks Pane
The upper Active Tasks pane shows the tasks that
are in progress or waiting to start. The currently ex-
ecuting task is at the top. Tasks in this pane will be
processed.
As tasks complete, they disappear from the queue.
Any task that fails to complete successfully is
moved to the Paused Tasks pane (see below). The
Status column displays a description of the failure.
Paused Tasks Pane
The Paused Tasks pane is displayed below the Ac-
tive Tasks pane, and is separated by a movable hor-
izontal divider. Tasks listed in this pane will not be
processed until they are moved back to the Active
Tasks pane.
Pausing and Canceling Tasks
The Task window lets you pause, resume, and can-
cel tasks.
To pause a task:
 Drag the appropriate task from the Active Tasks
pane to the Paused Tasks pane.
To pause all tasks:
 Choose Pause All from the Task window menu.
