Accessing the Tasks Folder
The Tasks folder displays all tasks that are either assigned to you
or that you assigned to another user or user group. You can also
assign tasks to yourself.
A task may or may not be related to a specific content block. If it is,
you can access a content block then “attach” a task to it. This kind
of task is managed just like the other tasks, but you can also view
and update it via the attached content block. For more information,
see ”Attaching a Task to a Content Block” on page 183.
This chapter explains how to create, edit, and view tasks.
To access the Tasks folder, follow these steps.
1. Access your Smart Desktop, as explained in ”Understanding
the Smart Desktop” on page 15.
2. The Smart Desktop folder hierarchy appears in the top left
frame.
