Managing Tasks
NOTE
Managing Tasks
A task is a request from one user to another to perform an action
within Ektron CMS400.NET. Examples of a tasks include:
• updating content
• publishing content
• updating an image
• reordering a collection
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 piece of content. If it
is, you can access content 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. For more information, see
”Viewing a Task” on page 300.
This chapter explains how to work with tasks through the following
topics.
