running in the background can be viewed in the processes tab. It shows the
process details of Backup, Restore, Maintenance, Import/Export and Cloud instance
creation.

The columns of the processes table shows:
* The *PID* of the forked OS process.
* The *Type* of the task being performed.
* The *Server* name for which the task is.
* The *Object* can be a database, table, mview or anything which gives more info.
* The *Start Time* of the process, sorted descending by default.
* The current *Status* of the process. It can be Running, Finished, Failed, Terminated.
* The *Time Taken* to complete. It will keep updating if it is running.
There are two action buttons on each row:
* The *Stop Process* button allows you to kill a running process.
* The *More details* button allows you to open the process watcher which shows the
process logs and other details.
You can also select the checkboxes and click on *Delete and Acknowledge* button
on the top to clear the process info and logs.
