Review the task page

A workflow execution is called a task. You can review the progress of any task, including the details of all of the apps involved in it from the point at which the task is initiated. The execution of a tool is described in terms of its jobs: tools that execute in parallel have one job for each parallel execution, whereas non-parallel apps have a single job.

Every project will have a Task page, which displays a list of tasks initiated in that project. To access the Task page, click on the tab marked Tasks on the dashboard for your project.

The tasks listed on the Task page are accompanied by their statuses (either failed, completed or aborted) and their initiation dates. To see more details about a task, including details of its outputs and task logs, click on the task's name. This will bring up a page for that particular task, like the one shown below.
