Activity Monitor

Tools > Activity Monitor

Global menu bar >

Some functions in the grid become available only when you select an activity with which the function is associated.

The Open Destination Folder function is available only for Results Export activities and the Resubmit activity is available only for a Detailed Loss Analysis.

Touchstone refreshes the contents of the Activity Monitor automatically. However, if you filter or clear the Activity List, you must click Refresh to update the list. You can manually refresh the contents of the Activity Monitor at any time.

Note:

Touchstone does not refresh the contents of the Activity Monitor automatically when analysis results are deleted. Deleting analysis results triggers a hard delete from the Result database immediately, and the associated analysis activity is deleted behind the scenes. Since the Activity Monitor is not aware that the analysis activity was deleted behind the scenes, it does not automatically update the Activity List. Clicking Refresh does not remove the analysis from the Activity List either. To update the list, close the Activity Monitor and then reopen it, or switch from My Activities to All Activities or vice-versa, as applicable. These links are located in the upper right corner of the Activities List.

The Activity Monitor contains the following fields and buttons:
