Tasks

The Tasks tab will display a list of all tasks associated with requests to which you have access once the designated filters have been applied. Once a request is approved, a list of tasks is generated. To access this page, click the Tasks tab on the Dashboard. When you arrive to the Tasks page for the first time in a session, your drawer will appear with the default filters (User logged in and Active) are displayed in emboldened font to show that they deviate from being set to “All”. If a filter is applied that deviates from “All” during the session, and you leave and return to the page, that filter header will be displayed in emboldened font prior to updating or applying those filters.

Notes:

Drawer opens automatically when first accessing the dashboard until filters are applied, and then remains closed until the Filter(s) button is clicked.
Filters are retained and automatically applied when navigating to/from dashboard within the same session.
