Tasklist Panel

The Tasklist panel lists all Tasks and Activities assigned to the currently signed-in user.

Summary

The Tasklist panel presents all assigned workflow process Tasks and Activities. Note that the panel displays only Tasks and Activities assigned to the user that is currently signed in to a NEXUS Server. All information on this page relates to the signed-in user.

Panel Access

The Tasklist panel is accessed by clicking Panels at the bottom right of the main workspace then selecting Tasklist or by clicking View » Panels » Tasklist from the main menus.

Tasks

The upper region of the panel lists all workflow process Tasks assigned to this user. A Task appears in the panel when a workflow process, such as a design review or a new part request, has been created and there is an outstanding task in that workflow process assigned to the current user.

Click once on a Task in the list to open the Form that has been created for that Task. Below shows an example of a New Part request task assigned to the current user.

search in the Part Search panel and assigned to the PCB librarian.

In the image above, once the assigned user has completed their work, they select the appropriate option from the Next Step drop-down then click the Submit button. Once that has been done, that Task will disappear from their Tasklist.

Activities

The Activities region of the panel lists the Activities, or workflows, that the current user has initiated. It does not mean that the current user is required to complete a Task as part of that workflow; it simply reflects the workflows that this user has created.

Click on an Activity to open an information dialog about that activity. The dialog includes tabs that show the workflow Diagram and the Data associated with the Task. The diagram will include a blue icon that indicates which task the workflow process is currently up to. Hover the cursor over the icon to see for which designer(s) the task is waiting.
