About columns in the Monitor

You use the columns in the Monitor tab to find and view information about reports and report groups.

Because the jobs page focuses more on report groups and the tasks pages focuses on the individual report, both pages offer moderately different information. You can find column descriptions for the jobs and tasks pages in the following two tables.

The following table describes the columns in the jobs page.
