Status bar displays whether Automation Workshop Manager is connected to its Service and if Task triggering is enabled. Additionally the Extended tooltips display (via hovering over the mouse pointer) enabled/disabled Tasks count, latencies, triggering details, and running workflows.
| Status bar | Details |
|---|---|
| Tasks | Hover the mouse pointer over the Task icon to see the number of total, enabled, and disabled Tasks. |
| Workflow protection | Automation Workshop Service is additionally monitored by Service Guard for increased reliability · see Service overview |
| Service status | Indicates whether Automation Workshop Manager is connected to its Service (functional core component of the automation suite). Connection to the Service is necessary for data exchange between the user interface and the Service, such as Task status updates, modifications, and information about running or queued Tasks, Triggers, and other operational data. If a connection to the Service cannot be established, created Tasks and Task updates are not uploaded to the Service. The information and error messages from running Tasks are not displayed, and so on. |
| Triggering | Indicates whether automatic Task triggering is enabled. If Task triggering is disabled, Automation Workshop will prevent any Triggers from starting their workflows, thus effectively disabling all automatic Task execution. Automatic task execution can be temporarily paused (e.g., for maintenance purposes) using the Tools menu · Services · Stop Automatic Task Triggering. |
| Active workflows | Shows how many Tasks are currently running. For a more detailed overview of currently queued and running Tasks, see Queue Manager. |
| Items | Shows the number of selected or total items in the current Task folder. |
