Tasks
Organize and manage assignments for your PIM content!
Tasks allow you to ensure the continuous enrichment of your PIM content. You can receive and assign actions to be carried out via the View My Tasks button on the dashboard.
For your information
Quable PIM automatically creates a Widget to display your tasks on the dashboard.
Accessing Tasks
You can access the tasks page from the dashboard by clicking on the tasks widget. From this page, you can view all the tasks assigned to you and/or create and assign tasks to others. An indicator at the top left informs you about the number of tasks available on the page.
Be informed
If a task is assigned to you, you will receive a notification which you can click to open the task.
Linked Document
You can also access tasks directly linked to a document from the task tab on the document page.
Status
A color associated with tasks defines their status, depending on their level of completion.
At the beginning of each task, this color code provides an instant indication of the task's status.
- Green - New tasks
- Yellow - Tasks in progress
- Blue - Completed tasks
- Gray - Archived tasks
Category
Tasks categories (defined by a Quable PIM administrator) are used to organize tasks. Whether they're related to a service, a step in your workflow, or another topic, they help you manage and prioritize your tasks.
Urgency
When a task is created with an urgent importance level, a distinctive indicator on the tasks page allows it to be instantly recognized among others.
Filter Tasks
At the top of the Tasks page, there is a bar with filter selectors in the form of dropdown menus:
You can filter the tasks to display by status, category, created by, and/or assigned to. Select the filter values from the dropdown menu list. The list will automatically filter, and the active filters will be displayed in the selectors. Click the cross to remove the filter.
Create Tasks
You can create tasks from the Tasks page or from the Tasks tab of a document by clicking the Create Task button.
A New Task window opens.
