The provided button is the most convenient way to monitor a background task. Alternatively, use the following procedure to monitor background tasks.

1. Select Task Monitoring from the main menu..

   The Background Task Monitoring page appears.

   For field definitions, see Background Task Monitoring elements.

3. (Optional) Click the Notepad icon in the leftmost column to display a floating window that contains details about the individual steps of the selected background task.
4. (Optional) To view additional details about a background task, and hover over the text in the Status field.
