This tool enables you to see either Active Tasks or Task History. You can toggle between these views by clicking in the leftmost button in the toolbar.
Active tasks are those currently being carried out on the server. For example: Importation, Sample Sorting, Exporting etc. It is particularly useful when several resource-intensive tasks have been launched, and provides the opportunity to abort a task if no longer required, or if it important to liberate processing resources to help another task finish more quickly.
This tool presents a list of tasks which have been performed for the project. It is particularly important for verifying whether a task has been successful or not.
