A typical task status detail page might look like this.
A single post-processing task will often contain several individual steps. In this case, the task contains steps for Clipping, file Tagging, Adding the clip to the Library, ShowSqueezing the file, a Cloud Share, and Deleting the transcoded file. The steps are run in sequence, and the information on this page will reflect that- in this case, the Tag File and Add to Library steps will not show any progress until after the ShowSqueeze step is complete.
