The Task Manager window allows managing system tasks. System tasks are the tasks that were set by the user to be automatically performed by the system over the defined time period. These can include documents indexing tasks, workflow tasks, and storage and retention policies tasks. In the Task Manager window you can view these tasks, change their execution date and execution priority, and delete the tasks.
