# All Tasks

Shows a list of all scheduled Windows tasks that trigger an execution of TreeSize.

## General

This list shows detailed information about each task:

### Name

The name that was given to the task when it was created. This can help you identify unique tasks, for example a specific search, or a monthly scan.

### Status

The current status of the task. Indicates if a task is ready to run, currently running, or disabled.

### Last run result

The last status of this task. This column shows if the last execution of a task was successful, if it failed, or if it has never been executed yet.

### Schedule options

The time parameters that were defined for this task. This determines when and how often it will be executed.

### Command line options

Shows the command line parameters that will be used for this task.

### Run as…

The account information that is used for this task. Please note: If no explicit options file is used for this task, TreeSize will use the settings of this user.

## Configuring tasks

By right clicking one of the tasks, you can open the context menu that allows to activate or deactivate an existing task, edit it in Windows directly, or perform other operations.

Some of these can also be quickly accessed via the buttons at the bottom of the page:

### Edit Task

Allows you to load the currently selected task into the schedule dialog, so that it can be modified.

### Delete Task

Deletes the currently selected task.

### Activate/Deactivate Task

Activates or deactivates the currently selected task.

### Execute Task

Executes the selected task, using the specified user credentials of the task.

### Import from file

Allows to import existing tasks from an XML file. This can be useful when migrating existing tasks from an existing system to a new one.

### Export to file

Exports an existing task to an XML file, which can be imported again at a later point in time, or on a different system, using the function “Import from file”.

### Open Windows Task Scheduler

Opens Windows’ task scheduler dialog.

### Event Log

Provides a direct shortcut to the “Application” section of the Windows Event Log. Any error that occurs during the execution of a scheduled task will be logged here.

### Refresh List

Loads the list of tasks from the system again and refreshes the user interface accordingly.
