Using the Task List

Project administrators can create and assign tasks using the ServerManagement Center. Tasks can only be assigned to users within the Management Center. Tasks provide a detailed description of what has been assigned to you for a given project. The task list displays your assigned tasks. The Editor workspace allows you to view, open, and check in tasks from the Task List.

For more information on assigning tasks, refer to Using Tasks in the companion manual Managing Content.
