Collection run actions
The three-dot Actions menu includes the following options. Available actions may vary depending on the run status and delivery configuration.
Redeliver results
Use Redeliver results to send collected results again to the configured delivery destination. You can choose:- Dataset only — redelivers only the structured output data.
- Dataset + media — redelivers the structured output data together with collected media files, such as images, videos, PDFs, or documents.
Rerun or cancel a collection
Use Rerun job to start a new run from an existing collection. You can choose:- Rerun all from beginning — starts a new run using all original input values.
- Rerun failed pages — starts a new run only for pages that failed in the selected collection.
Inspect results and errors
Use Quick view to preview up to 100 collection records in JSON format directly in the control panel. Use Errors to review failed inputs and error details. Use Activity to monitor a collection run over time. The page shows run status, start and finish times, success rate, crawl count, and performance charts. You can change the visible time range, such as 5 min, 1 h, 1 d, or all. The Activity page includes:- Run rate - shows how many pages were crawled, failed, or retried at each point in time, along with the success rate.
- Pages - shows discovered pages, open pages, retriable pages, and pages currently being crawled.
- Inputs - shows how many input rows were submitted and prepared for crawling.
- Crawl rate - shows the system-calculated maximum number of allowed workers and the actual number of workers assigned to the run.
- Crawl time per page - shows the average time spent crawling each page.
