Create a Task by Copying an Existing Task
You can edit a task in the task list by creating a copy of the task and modifying its settings in the Conversion
wizard. The original task settings appear at each step of the wizard, so that you can reuse or change them.
Procedure
1 Select a task in the task list.
2 Select Task > Copy As New.
3 Follow the prompts to modify the original task settings.
4 Click Finish to add the new task to the task list.
Cancel a Task
You can cancel a task in the queue or a task that is in progress.
When you cancel a task, the task loses its place in the queue. To complete a canceled task, you must resubmit
it to the task list. Canceling a task in progress does not suspend it. Canceling a task removes it from the
conversion and reverts the source machine to its original state. You cannot restart a canceled task, but you can
create a copy of the canceled task and add it to the task list to run it again.
Procedure
1 From the task list of the Task view, select a task.
2 Click Cancel.
The task is now out of the queue, the Start Time in the task list appears as three hyphens
(---) , and the
time of cancellation appears in the End Time column.
3 (Optional) Right-click the canceled task and select Copy As New.
The Conversion wizard opens. Complete the wizard to add the conversion task to the task list.
Delete a Task
The Delete option removes a task from the task list.
The Delete option works on any task except for a task in progress.

Procedure

2 Click Delete.
The task is removed from the task list.
