The Outputs page is divided into two parts:

• Queued Outputs:

  Lists the outputs that are either waiting to be generated or are under generation process. The queued or in progress tasks are shown with a blue color icon before the preset name. You can also find the output generation setting or preset used for the queued task, the type, user who initiated the task, time since when the task is queued, and the current status.

  Click on the link to access the Publish Dashboard and view the current running status. A list of all active publishing tasks is available in the Publish Dashboard. The Queued Outputs and the Publish Dashboard link are displayed only when there are outputs that are either waiting to be generated or are under generation process. They don’t appear when the output tasks have been completed.For more details on Publish Dashboard, see Manage publish tasks using the Publish Dashboard.

• Generated Outputs

  Lists the output tasks that have been completed. Again, the information shown here is similar to the Queued Outputs section with a few differences. You have new set of information in the form of output result icon and the output generation time.

  In this list, you could have tasks that have executed successfully, tasks that have executed with message, or failed tasks. The successful tasks are shown with green color icon, the tasks with a message have an orange color icon, and the failed tasks are shown with red color icon.

  For all the tasks, the publishing process creates a log file (logs.txt) that can be accessed by clicking the link in the Generated At column. For tasks that have failed or have messages, you can check the log file, which is explained in the section View and check the log file.
