Enhancements to the Tasks page

The Task page of Data Copy/Restore is enhanced with the following capabilities:

Segregated view of Failed and Unresolved records: The segregated view for Unresolved records separates Unresolved records from Failed records, allowing administrators to easily identify the number of failed records and work towards resolving them. Once the failed records are resolved, the Unresolved record count will automatically adjust to give an accurate view of both Failed and Unresolved records. 

This feature improves the user experience by providing a clearer separation of unresolved and failed records, allowing users to focus on resolving only the failed records while ensuring that unresolved records are also taken care of automatically.

Here is a glimpse of the update

View Task Summary in Task Status tab: The Task Status tab is now enhanced with Task Summary, which provides a comprehensive view of the total number of records for each object in the Completed and Failed tabs. It provides a better representation of Failed or Unresolved data copy or data restore jobs giving administrators a clear understanding of the total number of records, completed records, failed records, and unresolved records.

Here is a glimpse of the update

View number of failed records for an Object in Failed tab: You can now view the number of failed records for an Object in the Failed tab while analyzing the failed records for the data copy job. It allows you to quickly diagnose the failed records and get a better understanding of the status.
