Controlling Worklist
====================

work
    When any plugin is launched against a target, it adds a (plugin, target) combination to the worklist. This
    combination is known as work.

worklist
    The list consisting of all work which are yet to be assigned to a worker.

Worklist can be managed from the worklist manager which looks like this

Worklist table provides interesting information like:

    * Estimated time for which the plugin will run
    * All details about the plugin and the target against which it is launched

Pausing Work
------------

Individual works or whole worklist can be paused. This will stop the work from getting assigned to any worker.
The interesting part is ``worklist is persistent`` ,i.e. if you pause the whole worklist and exit OWTF, the works will still be there in paused state when you start OWTF again.

Deleting Work
-------------

Any work can be deleted from the worklist. The search boxes will help in filtering of the works when there are many
entries.
