Task Dialog and Task List
Task Dialog
The task dialog is main interface for managing your simulations. It will usually appear automatically whenever a simulation starts, but it can also be accessed by double-clicking on the new ‘Tasks’ item in the VE status bar:
Task List
The Task List, highlighted in red above, shows a tree view of all scheduled tasks. Each task may have a number of predecessor tasks which are represented as children of the parent task. Only when all predecessors have completed successfully will the successor (parent) task start.
You can select entries in the task list and perform actions on them via a right-click context menu or from the ‘Tasks’ menu at the top left of the dialog. This menu has the following options:
- Remove – removes a task from the list. Can only be selected when a task has completed, failed or has been cancelled by the user
- Cancel – cancels a task. Can only be selected when a task is active.
- Set Priority – sets the queue priority of the task to be either High, Medium or Low. This will affect which task starts first out of all the currently queued tasks. Priority can only be set when the task is in a queued state.
- Download – downloads the results files of the selected task. Can only be selected when the task has completed successfully and the model which was being simulated is the same as the currently loaded model.
Columns for task properties can be hidden or show via the View->Columns menu or by right-clicking on the task list header:
