Task Management
Tasks are the units of work that lims execute. Nexus creates and manages them automatically, or you can create them directly.
Task Lifecycle
1
Queued
Task is created and waiting for an available lim.
2
Running
A lim is actively working on it. You can see their progress in real-time.
3
Waiting Approval
Lim finished — awaiting your review (if approvals are enabled).
4
Completed
Task is done. Results are stored and available.
Approval Workflows
When approvals are enabled, lims pause and wait for your review before taking action:
- Content Publishing — review posts before they go live
- Code Changes — review code before it's committed
- External Actions — review API calls or integrations before execution
You can set this globally (Studio Settings → Chief Policies) or per-task.
