  • Requester - The user who initiated the automation.

  • Date - The date the task was created.

  • Status - The current state of the task, which can be Pending, Complete, or Failed.

  • Action - Click Provide Input to open a dialog box where you enter the required data for the automation to continue.

Filtering the Task List

  • Search - Search for a task by entering the Task ID or the Request name.

  • Date Range - Filter the list to display tasks created within a specific date range.
