The Tasks Tab displays all the Tasks available in the GN4 system. A task has a number of properties (defined in the GN4 XML schema), where the most important ones are:

• A task is defined within a parent calendar, from which the task inherits a workstate.

• You can move (send) a task from one calendar to another using a predefined copyflow.

• You can assign a task to a GN4 user (to only one user).

• You can assign to a task one or more products (articles, dummy images).

• A task has a number of date/time related properties, e.g. start date and time, duration, due date, completion date, kind, quantity, position and also percentage of completion, you can use to track down tasks and to manage them precisely.

• You can assign to a task a number of descriptive properties, such as description, who to contact, location, priority, notes, URL, keywords, categories etc.

Tasks can be created, copied and edited from this tab. Article product content items (such as text and images) can be attached/uploaded to a task.
