View Task Details
This screen enables authorized users to view all information related to a specific task in one place, allowing them to understand the task requirements, track its progress, and access related information.
Before You Start
- Ensure that the Task Management app is enabled through Apps Manager by navigating to Settings from the main menu.
- You must have the View Task permission to access this screen.
Steps
You can access the View Task Details screen in two ways:
Method 1: By Clicking the Task Title
- From the main menu, click Task Management.
- Click Tasks.
- Click the required Task Title directly from the Task List.
Method 2: From the Actions Menu
- From the main menu, click Task Management.
- Click Tasks.
- From the required task row, click the Actions icon, then select View.
After Opening the Screen:
- At the top of the screen, a drop-down list displays the current Status of the task, such as “To Do” while the Priority and Task Code are displayed on the other side of the screen.
- Below it, an Actions bar contains the following buttons: Edit, Re-Assign, Link Module, Add Note & Attachment, and Delete.
- Below the Actions bar, there are two tabs: Details (selected by default when the screen opens) and Activity Log.
- Under the Details tab, a section titled Task Information is displayed and divided into two columns:
- The first column displays the task timeline and shows only the dates applicable to the current task status (Creation Date and Due Date). A red badge labeled “Overdue” appears next to the Due Date if the task has passed its due date without being completed.
- The second column displays the Assignee (with contact information), Task Type, Description, and Target Record (or “No module linked” if the task is not linked to any module).
- Below the Task Information section, a section titled History is displayed within the Details tab, showing the latest actions performed on the task, such as re-assignment.
- To change the task status, select the new status from the drop-down list at the top of the screen, then confirm the change when the confirmation message appears.
How the System Works
- All fields on this screen are displayed in read-only mode, except for the status drop-down list used to change the status and the available buttons at the top of the screen.
- The Activity Log tab displays all actions performed on the task, arranged from the most recent to the oldest.
- The behavior of the Target Module link depends on the linking status as follows:
- If both the module and record are selected, clicking the link opens the selected record directly.
- If the module is selected without a record, clicking the link opens the main screen of that module.
- If no module is selected, the following text is displayed in this section: “No module linked.”
- When a new status is selected from the drop-down list, the system asks for confirmation before applying the change.
Validation Rules
- You cannot access the View Task Details screen without the View Task permission.
- All task fields are displayed in read-only mode and cannot be edited directly from this screen.
- The task status cannot be changed without confirming the change through the confirmation message that appears when the status is selected.
