View History

The History button shows previous executions of a scheduled task for the last 30 days. The system tracks scheduled executions which were successful or not. In case of content delivering tasks, such as broadcast reports, a list of recipients is maintained for each execution that tracks which users the content was successfully delivered to and which it was failed to send to. It is also possible to view the error in case of a failed delivery.

Notes:

  • This does not appear for tasks that contain sub tasks, such as Signals
  • When upgrading to a version of Yellowfin that introduces this feature, note that any previous task executions prior to upgrading, will not be shown on the history page.

Click on the History button to bring up a list of previous runs.
