If you right-click the Tasks node, you can set properties for all tasks. For more information, see Introducing Task Default Properties .

If you expand the Tasks node, you can view existing tasks and make changes to the individual tasks.

The tasks that appear in the Summary view provide the following information:

Run Now with Override

If a task has run successfully, built-in gathering rules prevent a task from regathering information in the same (UTC) day. This option allows you to force a task to rerun and regather information when it has already completed successfully the same day. For more information, see Forcing an Update on Demand for Exchange .
