Tasks

Tasks are atomic tasks assigned to a topic or a content. They serve to supplement standard processes that run identically for every content. Thus, tasks allow you to generate specific activities for certain topics or contents. For example, booking a photographer for an interview or requesting a sample for a product test. Tasks generate activities in users’ worklists and are also displayed in the Media Edition calendar. To create a new task, proceed as follows:

1. Navigate to a topic or a content and click “Create Task” in the toolbar.
2. In the following dialog, you can now assign the following metadata:
   • Name
     Defines the name of the task.
   • Description
     Defines the description of the task.
   • Editor
     Allows you to specify the assignee for this task, i.e., the user who will receive the associated activity in their worklist.
   • Start Date
     Defines the date on which the task can begin.
   • Deadline
     Defines the time by which the task must be completed.
   • Duration (in days)
     Specifies how long it should take to complete the task.
   • Predecessors
     Allows you to define a predecessor task.
3. Click "Next" to create the task.
