Manual task list

Lists all manual tasks in the O&M center, showing the Task Object, priority, person in charge of O&M, project, HTTP path, scheduling resource group, Last Update Time, tag, and available Actions for each task. Column widths are adjustable and saved in your browser. Clearing browser history and cookies resets them.

  • project: The task's project, displayed as ProjectEnglishName (ProjectChineseName).

  • HTTP path: The HTTP path for a Databricks SQL task in the selected environment.

    Note

    Appears only for Databricks SQL tasks. Other task types show -.

  • scheduling resource group: The scheduling resource group that task instances use at runtime.

    If a task's custom resource group is unavailable, the system falls back to the project default, then the tenant default. Fallback order: custom resource group > project default resource group > tenant default resource group.

    Note

    When you change the project default resource group, the display may lag, but tasks use the updated group for execution.

    tenant default resource group: Not tied to any project. Each tenant has one default resource group. The system uses it when no custom or project default resource group is specified. This applies only to tasks that use dedicated resources, excluding SQL tasks and Virtual tasks.

  • Actions: The Actions column lists available operations. Supported actions.

Batch operations area
