Using the Tasks context application

The Tasks context application displays the most recent tasks. You can sort the tasks by clicking the Sort by Date icon, Ascending or Descending. Clicking the Escalated icon filters the Tasks context application by those tasks that have been given an escalated priority. You can also filter by category by selecting a category in the Category drop-down.

Depending on the task, you can perform certain actions. Hover over a task and click the more button to see these options:

  • Assign to me/Unassign
  • Share
  • View Details
  • Done (for task notifications only)

By using the multi-select feature, you can also perform an action to multiple tasks at one time. All of the tasks that you select must have the same status. Select all desired tasks and the corresponding action, if any, is displayed:

  • Assign to me
  • Unassign
  • Done (for task notifications only)
  • Cancel

The Tasks context application is contextual so that when you access a specific page, all tasks related to the context of that page are displayed here in this Tasks context application.

See Working with the task overlay panel for more information.
