   Select a task row to see hosts. If we are deploying a server package to multiple hosts, a list of the hosts is shown under the task.

   The icon next to a host name indicates the current status of all operations on the host. Select a host name to see details about operations on the host. If a task, host, or step failed, select the failed step and view error messages.
