Abstract
In a computing environment, a display shows the progress of the execution of a user or system initiated task. The display includes the current completion status of the task, and the completion results of the task. The completion results indicate the amount of the task that has been completed and indicates the results of the completion. This displays differs from conventional task status displays in that this display gives information about the progress of the task execution and the activities that occurred during the task execution.
