Hiding the Task Pane

Siebel CRM automatically displays the Task Pane, by default. Siebel CRM does the following work if you configure it to hide the Task Pane:

• Hides the Task Pane for any task UI, including any completed, paused, or cancelled task instance. This hiding persists even if the user logs out and then logs back in to the client. Siebel CRM also hides any features that it normally displays in the Task Pane, such as the Task Progress Indicator.
• Disables the shortcut key for the Task Pane. This shortcut key is Ctrl + Shift + Y.

If you configure a Siebel application to hide the Task Pane, then no users can use the Task Pane to start a task UI in this application. Other ways exist to start a task UI. For more information, see Starting a Task UI.

For more information, see About the Task Pane.
