Overview
This menu enables the functions associated with the management (Add/Modify/Delete) of Tasks.
Each Phase can have one or more Tasks.
Tasks are assigned to the Users to action and will appear in their Tasks list. Task allocation can also be automated based on conditions.
Task List
The Tasks are listed as rows in a grid.
The grid displays the following data columns:
- Task
- Created Date
- Description
- Priority
- Deadline Day
- Parent Phase
The right most column contains the Action Icons that are used to perform various functions for each Task.
Grid Navigation
Multiple pages will be displayed for a grid listing more than 10 items.
The Page Navigation Bar helps Users navigate between pages of items in a grid and also go to a specific page.
Page Navigation always display the page number of the page a User is currently viewing and also includes back and next buttons, and for large numbers of pages includes first or last buttons.
Search
A keyword search of the Task Names which allows the User to refine the Tasks displayed in the grid.
A keyword search looks for the word(s) anywhere in the Task Names. Keyword searches are useful when the User has part of the information.
Sort
Allows Users to click on the heading name, for columns displaying the Sort icon, to re-organise the grid in the order of the data in that column.
Clicking a heading name will alternatively order the grid data in ascending order and then in descending order.
Ascending means smallest to largest, or alphabetical.
Descending means largest to smallest, or reverse alphabetical.
