MyTasks

Use this section to view the current Workflow tasks that you need to perform.

The total number of tasks is displayed in parentheses on the MyTasks heading.  Below the MyTasks heading are groupings of the types of tasks. Each grouping displays the number of tasks along with a "+" or "-" to expand or collapse the group. Select "+" to expand the list so the task details are displayed. Only groupings that have tasks are displayed.

Click the Task label to expand the list of tasks. Select the check box to the left of a task to select it, or select the check box located in the header to select or deselect all the tasks. Each check box in the left column will become checked or unchecked accordingly. After you have selected the task(s), click Launch to initiate them.

The possible groupings are as follows:

Within each type, the items are sorted by the origination date.

Launch

Select Launch to display the selected timesheets, expense reports, or work schedules in the appropriate screen.

The Launch function is disabled until you choose a desktop item by selecting the checkbox to the left of the item or by selecting the Select All function.

Delete

Select Delete to delete the selected tasks. The system will display the following message:

"Are you sure you want to delete this record(s)?"

If you select Yes, the selected records will be deleted and the desktop will be refreshed. If you select No, the tasks will remain with a selected status.

The Delete function is disabled until you choose a desktop item by selecting the checkbox to the left of the item or by selecting the Select All function.

Description

The description of the task will display to the right of the checkbox.  It may be cut off if it is too long; however, the full text will display when you hover your cursor over the description.

The color of the items will be different depending on how you set up their priority in the Events or Expense Report Types screens. If an item is low priority, it will display with black lettering on white background. If an item is medium priority, it will display with black lettering on yellow background.  If an item is high priority, it will display with white lettering on red background.
