Curator runs many tasks in the background — syncing users, warming caches, importing data, cleaning up old records, and more. Each background task is recorded as a “queued process” so you can see what is currently running, what is waiting to run, and what has errored out. The Queued Processes list is the place to monitor and manage that queue.

Viewing Queued Processes

  1. Navigate to your Curator backend > Settings > Curator > Queued Processes.
  2. The list displays each job with its type, status (for example, “Pending”, “Running”, “Complete”, or an error status), and timestamps for when it was created and last updated.
  3. Use the “Refresh List” button in the toolbar to reload the list and see the latest status.

Clearing Queued Processes

The toolbar above the list provides three actions for removing jobs from the queue:
ActionWhat it does
Cancel SelectedDeletes the jobs you have checked in the list. Disabled until at least one row is checked.
Clear PendingRemoves every job currently in the “Pending” status.
Clear ErrorsRemoves every job currently in an error status.
Use “Cancel Selected” when you want to remove a small number of specific jobs without affecting the rest of the queue. Use “Clear Pending” when pending jobs are stuck or piling up and you want a clean slate before the next scheduled run. Use “Clear Errors” once you have reviewed the failures and no longer need the records for troubleshooting. Each button asks for confirmation before deleting. Removing a job only deletes the queue record — it does not undo any work the job already performed.

Automatic Cleanup

Curator automatically prunes old queued process records once per day so the list does not grow indefinitely. The daily cleanup task removes any job whose last update was more than three days ago, regardless of status. Recent jobs — including pending ones — are left in place so that in-flight work is not interrupted. If you want to remove jobs sooner than the three-day window, use the toolbar actions described above.
