In Operations Manager, you can view and work with tasks that require manual intervention from the Actionable Tasks tab on the main dashboard.

Tasks in the Actionable Tasks view are listed in a table. To interact with a task, click the Work or Retry button at the end of the row. This assigns the task to you and opens the Task Details modal. Click the dropdown arrow on the far right of the modal to display task details, including Job Name, Job ID, and Task Description. To resize the modal, use the size control button in the upper-right corner.
From the Task Details modal of a workable task, you must acknowledge the task before it is marked complete and the workflow continues.

Click Continue Job to continue the workflow without retrying the task, or click Cancel to close the modal.
