Details

Description

Displays detailed information about the managed task. Also, enables modification of specific details, such as the task name, location of the associated task file and whether task triggering should be enabled/disabled.

To access the Details properties of a managed task, from Task Administrator's Managed Tasks view, right-click the desired task and select Go to > Details.

NOTE: A task becomes "managed" when it is created from or imported to the Task Administrator. All managed tasks are automatically saved in a default managed tasks folder specified in System Settings by way of the Task Service preferences. Conversely, an unmanaged task (also known as external task) is one created without the use of Task Administrator, therefore, management functions of Task Administrator cannot be applied to this type of task.
