Similar to logging, the user will view the status of the task runs. However, in the monitor, the perspective is from a higher level, all runs associated for with a particular activity (task) are displayed regardless of when they were run, unlike in logging, when a timeframe is required, and the information on the activity is more detailed. Only the tasks corresponding to the selected activity profile will be displayed.

The Information on Display for the user will be the Activity name, Run ID, Table where they should see the Status, Number of Entries description, retention time (how long the Table entries should be temporarily stored), and how many days are left.
During the data load, the Run ID will have the status 'In process'. The status within the Run ID will be changed according to table action within the run. When data is loaded into the recycle bin, the status 'Modifying the table' can be seen, following followed by the status 'Deleting from DB'. After a successful run, the status of the table is changed to 'No action'.

Different table statuses during the load to RecycleBin
On the Activity name you are able to can drill down two or three levels (in case of PSA and ChangeLog):
- The first level should be the run ID, by selecting the run ID from the context menu, you can restore the entries by selecting 'Undo Run'. In case you decide to 'Reload all' of the objects, there is a pop-up setting the number of jobs (important system overload prevention). Or you can 'Select' which object will be reloaded (as shown in the figure below). The 'Delete run' option permanently deletes entries.
