About the Task Pane

This topic describes the task pane. It includes the following topics:

• Context Pane
• Current Task Pane
• Task Group
• Task Chapter

The task pane is a user interface element in a task UI that provides a way to organize tasks. It also allows the user to start a task UI and to monitor progress through a task UI. Technically, the task pane provides one of the three possible panels that Siebel CRM can display in the action pane.

The action pane is a user interface element that displays the task pane, the iHelp Pane, and the Search Pane. If Siebel CRM displays the task pane, then it displays the tasks button that controls the appearance of the pane. It displays this button in an active state.

If a task UI is currently running, then the task pane displays the current task pane. Otherwise, it displays the context pane.
