The Task Manager is the Aleph client user’s only window into back-end Aleph server processes. It is the only visual utility where the Aleph users can view, obtain, and manipulate reports and other task files, whether produced periodically or on-demand. It allows users to find reports/files saved on the Aleph server’s print directory for viewing, printing/emailing (manually or automatically), or downloading to any desired local directory for backup and/or future processing.

After the Aleph 21 update, the Task Manager utility was significantly revamped in terms of functionality, accessibility, and ease of use. Getting familiarized with the Task Manager is very important for cataloging and circulation staff, but it is equally useful for information services staff as it would allow them to obtain all kinds of information access statistics files.

For more information on how to work with the Aleph Task Manager utility and reports, please read the Task Manager and Files page available on the OLS Support Site.
