Tasks view

The Tasks view displays Eclipse Tasks you add manually.

Each Eclipse task represents an action that needs to be carried out, such as to modify a particular line in a script. You can associate a task with a resource in the Workbench, but this is not required.

The Tasks view enables you to add new tasks, and to maintain and remove existing tasks.

The second and third task in the screenshot are associated to a line in a script. The first task is not associated.

Note: 
  • If a task is associated to (a line in) a script or library, double-click the task to edit the script or library. The editor opens the script or library at the involved line.
  • You can add new tasks from the LN Studio script editor.

    For more information, see Source Tab.

This table shows the columns in the view:

The first column Indicates whether the task is completed. You can manually select or clear the check box.
The second column Indicates whether the task is high, normal, or low priority.
Description A description of the line item.
Resource The name of the resource associated with each line item.
Path The folder in your workspace where the resource is stored.
Location The line number of the line item within its associated resource.
Type The type of task, such as "Task" or "Java Task".

You can edit the first three columns directly in the grid, and via the Properties command in the shortcut menu.

Toolbar

Provides commands to sort and filter the contents of the view, and to define preferences.

The Configure Contents command in the menu starts a dialog box where you can specify filters. You can filter items according to which resource or group of resources they are associated with. The filtering is performed by text string within the Description field, by task priority, or by task status.

Note: You can define a specific filter for TODO reminders.

See ToDo Comments.
