Task operations provide the ability to override manually the configured task-handling business logic. Task operations are performed on the selected task, as described in Task Monitoring.
The following task operations are available:
Hold Tasks |
The Hold Tasks operation holds the selected task. When a task is held, it will not be reprioritized or distributed, but it can be canceled, updated, restarted or resumed. |
Resume Tasks |
The Resume Tasks operation resumes processing of a held task. Only held tasks can be resumed. |
Cancel Tasks |
A task cannot be canceled if it is has been completed, canceled, or rejected. |
Modify Tasks |
The Modify Tasks operation allows an update of a number of task attributes and, optionally, a restart of the task. An attribute will be updated only if the check box that is next to it is checked; it will be checked automatically if a value of the corresponding field has changed. If the task is also restarted, its status is set to New, and it is classified and prioritized again in the same way as a new task. |
Export Tasks to XML |
The Export Tasks to XML operation exports all of the tasks that are displayed in the current Global Task List to an XML file; this operation does not rely on the task selection. The XML file will contain all of the available attributes for each task in the standard iWD format. As soon as it has been exported, a task from an XML file can be imported into a third-party application (such as Microsoft Office Excel) for further analysis and processing. |
