Listing Your Active and Completed Tasks

When a route that you are included in is started, you can immediately see the route in your list of routes. If you are assigned a task in the route, it won't be listed in your task list until the prior route tasks are completed and it's your turn to complete your task. When you first open the task lists, only active tasks are listed but you can see completed tasks using the filter list.

Tasks assigned to you can be deleted and if they are, you are notified. The route owner can delete tasks. Another reason tasks are deleted is if the route owner defines several tasks to be assigned at once and specifies that only one needs to be completed.

To list your active and completed tasks

1. To list all your assigned tasks, click My Desk>My Tasks from the global toolbar.

Or

In Team Central, to list assigned tasks for a particular workspace, click My Desk>Team>Workspaces from the global toolbar and then click the Name of the workspace. From the workspace category list, click Tasks.

The Tasks pages shows your tasks. Status--The icons in this column show if the task is late. A green arrow means the task is on time and a red square means it is late.

Name--The task name specified by the route creator. If the route creator didn't specify a name, the system automatically generates it. To get more information about a task, click its Name.

Action--The action the route creator requests that you perform: Approve, Comment, Investigate, Information Only, or Notify Only. If the action is Approve, you must choose an approval status to complete the task: Approve, Reject, or Abstain. All actions except Notify Only require that you enter a comment to complete the task.

Task Instructions--The instructions the route creator included for you.

Due Date/Time--The date and time by which the route creator requests you complete the task, if specified. If the task is overdue (the due date has passed and the task is not yet completed), its status is red. If there is no due date, the route creator didn't specify one and you can enter one if you choose to.

Route--The name of the route the task belongs to. To see details about the route--including route members, other tasks for the route, comments people have entered, and approval statuses people have chosen--click the Route name.

Content--Contains the number of items included in the route content. Clicked the number to open the Content page. See Listing Content for a Route.

Workspace--Shows the Team Central workspace the route is associated with. If no workspace is listed, then the route has been created from another application, such as Engineering Central or Program Central.

2. To see all tasks, including your completed tasks, choose All Tasks from the filter list.
