Overview

The My Tasks Dashboard provides a list of active work items and workflow tasks.   The dashboard is located under the Home menu and is the landing page when internal users first log in to the systemaccessed from the My Tasks link in the application header. 

The list defaults to show work items assigned to the current user as the processor or as a task assignee.   From this page, internal users may search for items and tasks assigned to themselves or other users or workgroups.   The page is also configurable, allowing users to select specific columns to display based upon the type of work that they do.

Searching for Tasks

My Tasks displays any item assigned to a user, including any functional area item or task. The search criteria are:

  • Functional Area

  • Assigned User

  • Assigned Workgroup

When an internal user first logs into the system, the screen will default to search for Functional Area set to All, Assigned Workgroup set to My Workgroups (any workgroup the current user is a member of), and Assigned User set to the Current User. 

Info

When All is selected in the Assigned Workgroup dropdown, a User must be selected in the Assigned User dropdown. When All is selected in the Assigned User dropdown, either a single workgroup, My Workgroups, or Unassigned must be selected in the Assigned Workgroup dropdown.

Show only tasks assigned by other processors

When specifying an Assigned User, a search option checkbox is displayed: Show only tasks assigned by other Processors. 

Checking this box limits the displayed tasks to tasks where the specified user is not the primary processor/owner of the record. 

Example:

Mary is the processor for Application A and has assigned Danielle several tasks. Danielle is the processor for Application B and has assigned workflow tasks to herself and perhaps others. 

Suppose Danielle views the My Tasks page. If Danielle is specified as the Assigned User in the search and the Show only tasks assigned by other Processors checkbox is not checked, then both Application A and Application B will be displayed in the My Tasks list. If the Show only tasks assigned by other Processors checkbox is checked, then Application A will be displayed in the My Tasks List, but Application B will not.
