Description

When a user does a large space export( PDF/HTML/CSV etc) the below scenarios can happen.

1. He may accidentally close the browser export progress window. When he tries to take the export again it will give an error message that the task is still running without the actual progress status. In case the export task is completed there is no option to download the file generated from the previous session also.

2. The user may want to take a fresh export again after cancelling the original task. For example he may decide to take custom export after accidentally clicking full export.Currently there is no option to cancel the running task from user end and he will have to wait till the task is complete.

Suggested Resolution

• Provide an option so that the user can see the export task progress even though the original browser window is closed.
• Create cancellation and restart option for export task.
• Provide download url for zip files generated from previous completed tasks.
• Create configurable threshold time for space export.
