The Home Display displays high level information about your current application. When you switch applications, the display refreshes with information for that application.

Pega Task

Provides a near real-time development bulletin board that enables operators to keep track and share information about what they're working on. Common actions appear as links at the top of the section. Tasks then appear in a list format, ordered by due date. To refresh the list, click the Update list link.

The items are work objects but do not appear on application worklists.

Create a task

To create a new task item, click the New task link. This launches an overlay with the following options:

1. Enter a short description of the task item in the first text input.
2. Optionally, add detailed information in the second text area.
3. In the Shared with drop down menu, select:
   • Private if you want the task to appear only on your PRPC client; other operators cannot see the item.
   • An access group listed on your Operator record. All operators in this access group can see the task.
4. Optionally, enter a Due date using the calendar control. The due date determines the list sort order. The task with the most recent due date appears at the top of the list. Tasks without due dates are grouped below the ones with dates; the most recently added item appears at the top of this group.
5. Click Create to publish the task and close the dialog. Click Create + to publish the task and keep the dialog open so that you can enter another task.
   
   

Once created, tasks appear in a read only, ordered list. Double click any task to open it for edit.

Complete, claim, or withdraw tasks

You can perform the following actions on a task item by clicking the following links:

• Complete — Indicate that the task is complete. A message shows the operator who completed it and when it was completed.
• Claim — Appears only for shared items. Indicate that you are the item's owner and are working on it; other operators cannot complete, edit, or delete the task. When you click the link, it changes to Unclaim. Click it to remove your ownership.
• Delete — Withdraw the task without having completed it. A message shows the operator who withdrew it and when it was withdrawn.

Filter the display

To filter the items in the display, click Filter list. The options allow you filter by:

• Shared or Private Tasks —— Select Both, Private, or Shared. The default is Both.
• Access Groups — Appears if the Shared or Private Tasks value is Both or Shared. Select the access group(s) that it is shared with. All access groups are selected by default.
• Completed & Withdrawn — Select to display items that have been completed or withdrawn. By default, these items are not displayed.

My Project Worklist
