Managing Task Groups (2.8)
Ultimately there may be a large number of tasks, so the Business Scheduler provides an option to organize tasks into groups that you can expand or collapse. The groups cannot be scheduled; their only purpose is to visually organize the Business Scheduler Dashboard.
Also, for each task group, the Business Scheduler summarizes the statuses of all the tasks in the group; by design, this is the most important status of the group. For instance, if all tasks in a group are Running, but one task is in Error, the group summary status is Error. This way, even when a group is collapsed, the Business Scheduler displays the status that most needs attention.
