Active Task List

Displays a list of Processing Tasks for the current repository that are in process (tasks with a 'Working' status).

Remarks

The Active Task List control provides a real-time, interactive view of all Processing Tasks currently in progress within the Grooper repository. It is designed to help users monitor workflow activity, track task progress, and identify bottlenecks or issues in processing jobs. The control presents tasks in a tabular format, with key details such as process, step, machine, user, start time, and elapsed time.

Overview

The Active Task List is typically shown as a dashboard panel or page, automatically updating to reflect the current set of active tasks. Each row represents a single Processing Task with columns for task ID, item name, process, step, machine, user, start time, and elapsed time. The list supports focused row highlighting and may include custom attributes for integration with scripts or client-side logic.
