Managing tasks

When you've successfully logged in, you'll see the Tasks page:

tasklist-start-screen

Assign tasks

To find relevant tasks you can use filters.

Select the Unassigned filter list and assign a task to yourself using the Assign to me button on the top panel:

tasklist-claim

Work on assigned tasks

Select the Assigned to me filter list to see the tasks that are assigned to you. Select a task to work on it.

Get notified about new assignments

Tasklist users can receive a browser notification when new tasks are assigned to them:

Tasklist notifications banner

The Don't miss new assignments banner at the top of the page appears when the user either assigns a new task to themselves, or opens a task that is already assigned to them. To turn on browser notifications, click Turn on notifications.

To turn off notifications, disable notifications for this site in your browser settings.

note

This requires Tasklist to run in the background, so if Tasklist is closed, users will not receive notifications. We recommend keeping Tasklist open in your browser for consistent use.

Complete a task

When a task is assigned to you, you can complete the task by filling out the given form, and clicking on the Complete Task button.

tasklist-completing-task

There are also cases where no form is available. In these cases, you have to add and/or update variables directly.

tasklist-with-variables-claimed-by-me

Always choose a list of tasks with a specified status. Then, select the task you want to work on.

Change variables as needed and begin completion with the Complete Task button.

Completed tasks will be shown in the Completed task list.

Add and update variables

Update variables in the Variables section by adjusting their text field.

To add a new variable, click Add Variable.

tasklist-add-new-variable

View completed tasks

You will now see the completed task by selecting the Completed task list:

tasklist-task-completed

Options

Auto-select first available task

If this is enabled, whenever you open tasks, change filter options, or complete a task, Tasklist will automatically select the first task in the list.
