[General](https://help.plytix.com/en/admin#general) # Accessing your PIM's Process Log ## How to monitor system processes like imports, exports, and bulk edits Some operations require a bit of processing time to finish. To find out what processes are currently running or have recently finished, you can consult the Process Log.    [Types of processes](https://help.plytix.com/en/process-queue#processes) [Accessing the Process Log](https://help.plytix.com/en/process-queue#accessing) [Reading the Process Log](https://help.plytix.com/en/process-queue#Reading) [Canceling Processes](https://help.plytix.com/en/process-queue#cancel)   *\*Skip to any section in this article by clicking on the links above*   --- ### Types of processes Processes that require processing time include: - Imports - Exports - Feed and Channel processing - Editing a custom attribute that requires a post-calculation, like [Completeness attributes](https://help.plytix.com/en/completeness-tracking) or [Formula attributes](https://help.plytix.com/en/formula-attributes) - Bulk updates --- ### Accessing the Process Log You can find the Process Log in the top right of the main navigation bar by clicking on the icon next to your account name. [![Process icon](https://help.plytix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20center/Help%20Center%20Images/HC%20-%20Process%20queue/Process%20icon.png?width=670&height=357&name=Process%20icon.png)](https://help.plytix.com/hubfs/Process%20Log.png)   --- ### Reading the Process Log The Process Log has two sections: **'Process Queue'** and **'Activity'**.  - The **Process Queue** shows all active or pending processes. If the process is in this part of the log it is not yet complete. - The **Activity** part of the Log shows the last 25 completed processing events. Each processing event includes an action, a user (or "System" if the event was scheduled), and the time/date it was completed. ![Activity panel](https://help.plytix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20center/Help%20Center%20Images/HC%20-%20Process%20queue/Activity%20panel.png?width=670&height=357&name=Activity%20panel.png)   --- ### Canceling Processes In the **'Process Queue'** section of the Process Log you can view all processes that are currently running and those that are queued. Users with account management permissions can stop a queued process or a process in progress by clicking on the red 'X' icon that appears when hovering over it. Users without account management permissions can stop processes they started themselves. ![Cancel processes](https://help.plytix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20center/Help%20Center%20Images/HC%20-%20Process%20queue/Cancel%20processes.png?width=670&height=357&name=Cancel%20processes.png) Note that only some types of processes can be stopped depending on whether they are queued or in progress: - Processes that are *queued* and can be canceled: - - Exports from product overview - Exports from asset overview - Imports - Scheduled import feeds - Channel processing (manual and scheduled) - Processes that are *in progress* and can be canceled: - - Imports - Scheduled import feeds - Channel processing (manual and scheduled)   Upon clicking the 'X' icon on a process, a popup will appear to confirm that you wish to stop it. Click the red **'Cancel process'** button.   ℹ️ Canceling a process will prevent further changes from being made, but will not undo changes that have already been made while the process was running.   --- ### What's next? - Check out our [import log](https://help.plytix.com/import-logs) - Learn how to [manage users in Plytix](https://help.plytix.com/account-users) - Learn how to [manage channels](https://help.plytix.com/managing-channels) ---     - [Getting Started](https://help.plytix.com/en/getting-started#main-content) - [Import data](https://help.plytix.com/en/getting-started#import-data) - [Attributes](https://help.plytix.com/en/getting-started#attributes) - [Using Plytix](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#main-content) - [Product Overview](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#product-overview) - [Product Editing](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#product-editing) - [Attributes](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#attributes) - [Product Lists](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#product-lists) - [Relationships](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#relationships) - [Asset Management](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#asset-management) - [Settings](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#settings) - [Product Families](https://help.plytix.com/en/using-plytix#product-families) - [Sharing your data](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#main-content) - [Exports](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#exports) - [Webhooks](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#webhooks) - [Brand Portals](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#brand-portals) - [Channels](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#channels) - [Shopify](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#shopify) - [BigCommerce](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#bigcommerce) - [Syndication Guides](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#syndication-guides) - [Shopping Search Engines](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#shopping-search-engines) - [Ecommerce Platforms](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#ecommerce-platforms) - [Marketplaces](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#marketplaces) - [Feed Management Tools](https://help.plytix.com/en/sharing-your-data#feed-management-tools) - [Admin](https://help.plytix.com/en/admin#main-content) - [General](https://help.plytix.com/en/admin#general) - [Billing](https://help.plytix.com/en/admin#billing) - [Team Roles](https://help.plytix.com/en/admin#team-roles) - [Operations](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#main-content) - [Date](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#date) - [Info](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#info) - [Logical](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#logical) - [Lookup](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#lookup) - [Math](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#math) - [Operator](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#operator) - [Statistical](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#statistical) - [Text](https://help.plytix.com/en/operations#text) - [Troubleshooting and FAQ](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#main-content) - [Imports](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#imports) - [Exports](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#exports) - [Attributes](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#attributes) - [Settings](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#settings) - [Product Families](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#product-families) - [Assets](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#assets) - [Brand Portals](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#brand-portals) - [Channels](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#channels) - [Shopify](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#shopify) - [Products](https://help.plytix.com/en/troubleshooting-and-faq#products) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.plytix.com/hubfs/00%20Culture%20and%20branding/Branding%20-%20Logos/Plytix-logo-purple.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.plytix.com/) Plytix Help Center Copyright © 2026, Plytix.com, Inc.
