• Status—QUEUED, COMPLETE, IN-PROGRESS, STOPPED, FAILURE
• History of Operations—The name of the .csv file that was uploaded or downloaded. If the operation is still in progress, its progress is displayed in terms of the number of records that have been processed. If the operation is finished. The total number of records processed, created, and updated is displayed, as is the number or records that were not processed because they contained an error.
• User—The username of the logged in user who ran the operation. This information is not displayed until the operation is finished.
• Date—The date and time when the operation finished.

The operations are listed by status in the following order: FAILURE, IN-PROGRESS, QUEUED, STOPPED, and COMPLETE. For each status, they are listed in descending order by time, that is, most recent first. The History window is refreshed every 5 seconds to keep you up to date on the state of current bulk operations.
