The status of a task,* displayed by the Process Monitor:
Ready
Busy
Error
Routing error
Waiting
Synchronizing
When a task is successfully completed, it is deleted.
These statuses are normally updated automatically. You can also change them manually. Alternatively, in special/problem situations you can configure the Agent for Updating Task Status to update the status.
* Note: Since tasks are work orders for processing root documents, task status and document status are sometimes used interchangeably. However, do not confuse this with the value of a document's status object.
