This statement is absolutely false.  Bringing up the Command Center
Dashboard, I can see the status of all of the running jobs - jobs that
are long-running are flagged with a little clock.  Jobs that are running
slowly are flagged (I forget the symbol for that - might be a snail).
Both of those cases have the job details flagged in red versus the blue
for the normal jobs.  All jobs include KB, KB/sec, elapsed time, and the
time data was last written for th job.  The real-time job summary gives
me the number of active jobs, queued jobs, completed jobs, etc.  

The screen shots on Aptare's web site don't currently include the
Command Center dashboard, but it's been there in every release I've run
over the last few years.
