# Common user workflows

> This page describes the most common workflows users follow in the Titan dashboard.

These workflows map directly to Task Service API operations but are presented from a user experience perspective.

## Create a task from the dashboard

The user:

1. Opens the task creation view
2. Provides a name, target URLs, and objective
3. Defines the output schema
4. Selects whether the task runs once or on a schedule
5. Saves the task

This maps to `POST /api/v1/tasks` in the Task Service API.

## Run a task

The user:

1. Opens an existing task
2. Clicks run
3. Monitors the execution in the execution list or detail view

This maps to `POST /api/v1/tasks/:id/run`.

## Monitor execution progress

The user:

1. Opens the execution detail view
2. Watches status transitions (queued → running → completed)
3. Reviews progress indicators and phase labels
4. Inspects logs or error messages if something fails

This maps to `GET /api/v1/executions/:id`.

## Export results

The user:

1. Opens a completed execution
2. Downloads results as CSV or JSON
3. Inspects dataset details if available

This maps to result and dataset endpoints under `/api/v1/executions/:id/results`.

## Browse and use templates

The user:

1. Opens the template catalog
2. Filters by category or searches by keyword
3. Selects a template and reviews its configuration
4. Runs a preview to validate the template against their target
5. Creates a task from the template when satisfied

This maps to template and preview endpoints under `/api/v1/templates`.

## Review analytics

The user:

1. Opens the analytics dashboard
2. Reviews usage summaries, execution trends, and task-level statistics
3. Drills into specific execution or task metrics

This maps to analytics endpoints under `/api/v1/analytics`.

## Check billing and usage

The user:

1. Opens the billing view
2. Reviews wallet balance and credit usage
3. Inspects the ledger for detailed transaction history
4. Reviews monthly statements

This maps to billing endpoints under `/api/v1/billing`.

## Use templates to speed up setup

The user:

1. Browses the template catalog
2. Selects a starting point
3. Validates the workflow through preview or initial runs
4. Promotes it into a task they own

This makes task creation faster and more consistent across teams.
