If the scheduled task inherits Custom Class Judgment or skipping task sub-nodes, the node status and the overall task status are skipped.

If the scheduled task node is executed successfully, the node status is successful. All node status and the overall task status are successful.

If the sub-node execution of the scheduled task fails, the node status and the overall task status are failed. You can view the failure reason.

• List:

For the execution status of each scheduled task node, the system will generate an execution result displayed in the detail table.
