Create tasks within a task group
so that contributors can do work in Management Center under the task.
Try to combine the work assigned to a contributor into one task where
possible.
Before you begin
- Before creating a task, you must have a task group created. Tasks
are created in task groups.
- Ensure that you are
logged in to the Workspace Management tool as one of the following
roles:
Procedure
- Open the Workspace Management tool.
- In the explorer filter, select the Current view.
- In the explorer view, click the workspace that contains
the task group that you want to create a task for.
The
list of task groups is displayed.
- From the list of task groups in the explorer view, right-click
the task group that you want to create a task for; then click New
Task.
- Enter the task name and description. The task name and
description help identify the task among other existing tasks.
- In the Due date field, click the
calendar button to specify a date that contributors should complete
this task. This field is for your information only. WebSphere Commerce does not perform any actions based on this date.
- In the Contributors table, specify
the people who will work on this task. In the box above the table,
type the first or last name of the contributor, and then click Find
and Add.
- Click Save.
The following
fields are added for reference later on:
- Date completed
- When contributors mark this task as complete, this field will
show the date.
- Date approved
- When the task group containing this task is approved, this field
will show the date.
- To create additional tasks for your task group, repeat
these steps.
What to do next
After creating all the tasks for your task group, activate the task group. Contributors
cannot work on their assigned tasks until the task group containing
their tasks is activated.
