Automic Automation: Task Management

As an operator, the Process Monitoring perspective is your main working area. It displays comprehensive data on active and inactive tasks and it contains tools to filter and group tasks. In this perspective you can modify active tasks, open their reports and execution lists and troubleshoot. This course focuses on the Process Monitoring perspective and it covers the most important aspects that operators need to know to perform their duties. It describes the most important actions that they can take and provides demos. 

Depending on the Automic Automation version that you are using, you may notice minor variations between the interface elements. These are entirely cosmetic and will not affect your overall experience in any way.
