Tasks in PhixFlow perform various jobs, including running analysis, archiving, and clearing old managed file and performance log records. Tasks are bundled into task plans and are configured to run in a specific order. Task plans can be requested by users, triggered by actions or schedule to run on a specific date and time.

Basic Settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the task plan. |
| Enabled | When the task plan configuration is complete, tick this box to enable it for use. To prevent the Task Plan being run, for example during maintenance, untick this box and the Task Plan will not run on the schedule or manually. |
| Scheduled | If ticked, an extra section will appear. This allows a regular schedule to be set up for the task plan. |
| Suspend on Failure | If ticked, the Suspended flag will be set to true if any error messages are generated by the task plan during execution. |
| Suspended | If the field Suspend on Failure is ticked, this box will be ticked by the system if any error messages are generated when the task plan is executed. This indicates that there is a problem which should be fixed before the Task Plan is run again. The next time the task plan runs, if this flag is still ticked, it will simply generate a one line error message in the log file stating that it cannot run as it has been suspended. To un-suspend the task plan, untick the field. |

You can set up an automated email to be sent with the results of a task plan run.
Emails are generated in an outbound queue and actually sent by a separate email demon process. If it is not possible to send emails immediately, e.g. because the email server is down, the email demon process will try to re-send periodically until either it succeeds or until a timeout period has passed.
| Field | Description |

| Email From | The Email Address the generated email will appear from. |

| Message Expression | Allows the user to build a PhixFlow Expression which will be used to create the message body of the email. The internal variables _errors, _warnings, _messages, _suspended and _taskPlan can be used in the Message Expression. |
