## Running jobs and suggested tasks 

The middle icon in the notification area provides an overview of currently running tasks triggered by the administrator and the suggested tasks recommending users to perform specific configuration actions. 

In our case shown in Figure 5-14, we have not yet defined any hosts attached to the systems, Therefore, the system suggests that we do so and offers us direct access to the associated host menu. Click Run Task  to define the host according to the procedure explained in Chapter 8, “Hosts” on page 341. If you do not want to define any host at the moment, click Not Now  and the suggestion message disappears.
