Keep track of what's running

Some things in FarmReady take a while — an Agworld sync, a receipt import, a stocktake upload. Until now, once you started one, there was no easy way to tell whether it had finished.

There's a new Tasks button in the navigation. It shows what you've started and how it's going, with a counter while anything is still running.

Each task tells you what it's doing — queued, working, finished, failed or cancelled — along with enough detail to tell one run from another, like the file an import was given.

You don't have to sit and watch. If something finishes while the panel is closed, an alert appears to let you know. The panel follows you around the app too — a sync you started in Shed is still there when you're in Bolt.

When a task creates something, the row links straight to it. A finished receipt import gives you View REC-00000093, so there's no going hunting for what you just imported.

Anything still running can be cancelled, and finished tasks can be dismissed once you've seen them. It's per person, so you're seeing your own work rather than everything happening on the farm.
