Task management enables users to plan and manage the day-to-day activities that are associated with managing sales, service, and support activities.
Tasks are associated with workflow items that are triggered by PeopleSoft CRM transactions, such as leads and opportunities. If a transaction triggers a workflow item that assigns a task to a user, than that task appears in the user's task list and the user's calendar. If the task is for a meeting, the task appears in the user's meeting list. You access task lists, calendars, and meeting lists using the My Tasks and My Calendar pages.
Users can access their task list directly from the left-hand menu or by clicking a toolbar button that is available on the My Contacts and My Calendar pages. Additionally, users can view tasks that are associated with a transaction or component.
You can create tasks from these components.
Lead
Opportunity
Strategic account management
Risk Component in Wealth Management

Details of a task that appear on the My Tasks, My Calendar, or My Meetings page are available by clicking the task name.

See Setting Up Task Management.
Task Management Process
A task owner creates a task and assigns it to one or more persons. A notification is then sent to each of the assignees that a task is assigned to them, and the task appears in the assignee's task list. The assignee can either accept or decline the task. The owner is notified when the assignee marks the task as completed.
The task owner can reassign a task for any of the assignees. An assignee can reassign a task that is assigned to them. When a task is reassigned, the system sends a notification to the new assignee that the task is assigned to them. When the new assignee accepts or declines the task, the system notifies the owner.
This diagram shows the task management process:
Task Management Process Flow
You can also call the Task web service to perform many task management inquiries and notifications.
See Working with Business Processes and Web Services.
Personal Information Managers
You can synchronize tasks between the PeopleSoft CRM database and personal information management (PIM) systems such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.
See your current Infosync Server documentation for more information.
Task Folders
Users can organize their tasks using folders. Five standard folders are available; users can additionally create their own personal folders. Personal folders are used only for entries from a user's individual set of tasks, not for tasks from a group or from a user's direct reports. Clicking a folder name displays the contents of that folder. A yellow highlight indicates the currently selected folder.
These are the standard folders:
The My Tasks contains all tasks owned by or assigned to the user that have not been moved to another personal folder
The All My Tasks folder is a combination of My Tasks and other user-defined (personal) folders. It contains the tasks that appear under My Tasks and all user-defined folders.
It does not include items from the Group Tasks, Direct Reports, or My Sales Team folders.
The Group Tasks folder contains tasks that are owned by a provider group without an individual owner. Only entries from the provider groups to which the user belongs are shown.
This folder appears only if the user belongs to at least one provider group.
The Direct Reports folder contains the tasks owned by, assigned to or delegated to direct reports. By default, the tasks of all the direct reports along with their delegated tasks will show up under this folder
This folder appears only if the user has direct reports. The Direct Reports folder will not, however, show the user's personal tasks.
When viewing the Direct Reports folder, users have access to a drop-down list box for selecting a specific employee and filtering the task entries accordingly.
The My Sales Team folder contains the tasks owned by, assigned to or delegated to members of your sales team.
This folder appears only if the user is the leader of a sales team (as defined by the Territory Tree).
When viewing the My Sales Team folder, users have access to a drop-down list box for selecting a specific employee and filtering the task entries accordingly.
The Delegated folder contains any tasks that have been delegated to that user. Delegation of a user's tasks is defined on the Task Options page.
Users can create, rename, and delete personal folders at will. However, if a user attempts to delete a folder that is not empty, an error message tells the user to move the folder contents elsewhere (to another personal folder or to the inbox) first.
Note. The My Tasks, All My Tasks, Group Tasks, Direct Reports, My Sales Team, and Delegated folders cannot be deleted or renamed
The toolbar on the My Tasks page includes a button that a user clicks to display the number of items in each folder. The folder count appears in parentheses next to the folder name. The system, however, does not provide folder counts for the Group Tasks, My Sales Team, Direct Report, or Delegated folders. For performance reasons, the folder counts are not updated continuously.
By default, the system hides folder counts when the page first appears. After they are displayed, however, they remain visible as long as the user remains on the page. To hide folder counts, users must navigate to the My Tasks page again.
Important! Folder counts are only as current as the most recent time that the user clicked either the Folder Counts toolbar button or the Refresh toolbar button.

Creating Tasks or Updating Task Details
Access the Task Group Template - Type page (Set Up CRM, Common Definitions, Task Management, Task Group Template, Task Group Template).
Task group templates ensure that all tasks that must be completed to accomplish the goal that is assigned. For example, the task group Install Hardware might consist of three tasks: Installation, Test Install, and Installation Acceptance. This is particularly useful when the tasks are performed by different people with different reporting relationships.
When a user schedules a task group, the task group template creates and assigns each task within the group.
Task Group
Active |
Select to activate the group template. |
Application Usage |
Select the application or component for which the group template can be used. Values are:
Note. If you select Change Management, HelpDesk, HR HelpDesk, Strategic Planning or Support the system displays the Duration tab. You can use this page to enter offset days, duration days, and start and end times. For Change Management, you enter only days, hours and start use codes. |
Task Group Template - Type
Use this section to add tasks to the group template. For each task, specify default values that pertain to the selected usage: task type, priority, task name (subject), provider group, task owner, assignee, location, and task description (for Change Management, HR Helpdesk, HelpDesk and Support). These values appear as default when the corresponding group template is selected at runtime and are can be updated.
Note that the Provider Group column will only be visible and editable on a row if the corresponding Task Type definition has been configured to show this field.
Note. If the default task owner and assignee are not specified in the task group template, at runtime, the logged on user becomes the default task owner and no assignees are pre-populated. The owner can update task information, add and delete task entries as necessary.
Access the Task Group Template - Duration page (Set Up CRM, Common Definitions, Task Management, Task Group Template, Task Group Template).
Use this page to specify a duration for each task. If the task type requires a start or end time (for example, meetings), you must enter these fields. The specific fields that appear on this page are dependent on the task type. This tab appears only when you select Change Management, HelpDesk, Strategic Planning or Support from the Application Usage field.
Note. For Strategic Planning, the system validates the required fields. For example, Start Time and End Time are required for meetings. The system, however, doesn't validate fields for other application usages.
Offset Days |
This field appears only if you selected HelpDesk, Strategic Planning or Support in the Application Usage field. Enter the number of days that are added to the plan start date to derive the task start date. The task end date is derived from adding the Duration Days to the task start date. |
Duration Days, Start Time and End Time |
Enter the number of days a task should take as well as the start and end times for each task. |
Start Use Code |
This field appears only if you selected Change Management in the Application Usage field. Select one of these values to indicate when a task should start:
|
Access the Set SYNCIDs page (Set Up CRM, Common Definitions, Task Management, Reset SYNCIDs).
Use this page to reset invalid sync IDs of the specified type of transactions. Task management uses sync IDs to associate tasks and CRM components from which these tasks are created.
Warning! In PeopleSoft CRM, sync IDs are used as unique foreign key references to transactions. If you must reset sync IDs, use this page instead of the PeopleTools’ Set Sync IDs utility.
Transaction Type |
Select the type of transactions you want to reset the sync IDs. |
Record (Table) Name |
Enter the name of the record containing the sync IDs that you want reset for the specified transaction type. For example, if you select Lead as the transaction type, enter RSF_LEAD as the record (table) name. For the Opportunity transaction type, enter RSF_OPPORTUNITY as the record (table) name. |
Reset All SyncIDs |
Select to assign a new sync ID (a value that is greater than zero) for each transaction of the selected transaction type, regardless of whether the transaction currently has a sync ID, or the sync ID is a valid one. If this option is clear, the system only resets invalid sync IDs, which are either null or zero in value. |
Reset |
Click to start the sync ID reset process. |

If a task already has a start date and an end date, changing the start date (or start time) will also change the end date (or end time) by an equal amount (to maintain the original duration of the task). You may change this defaulted end date or time value, if desired. |
Provider Group |
Enter the name of the provider group that owns this task. A task must be associated with a provider group or an individual owner (or both). Note. This will only be visible on a task if the corresponding Task Type definition has been configured to display this field. If this field is not visible for a particular task, a value in the Owner field will be required. |
Owner Name |
Enter the name of the individual task owner. The owner might not actually perform the task, but is responsible for task completion.

If you want to receive a reminder for this task, enter the number of days, hours, or minutes the reminder should send before the task is scheduled to begin.
Note. If the reminder time for the newly created task is
within an hour from the current time, the task reminder is sent immediately
regardless of when the reminder time was set originally. This occurs because
the task reminder daemon is programmed to pick up and process reminder emails
that are set between an hour before and an hour after the current time. However,
if the reminder is set to occur further than an hour from the current time,
the daemon sends the reminder as specified. |
<Invitees / Assignees>
The label of this grid changes depending on the task type. As delivered, the label is Invitees for the Meeting task type and Assigned To for task types Activity, Approval, and Mtg.
The systems displays different information in this section based on how you configured the Task Type page. You can add this grid to add task types or modify the labels using the Task Type page.

Contacts
Primary |
Select to indicate that the contact who is listed in the row is the primary contact for this task. There is only one primary contact for a task, and the primary contact name appears for the task when it is listed on the My Tasks page. |
To add a person to either the Invitees grid or the Contacts grid, enter a first and last name below the grid and click the Invite or Add button.
If the first and last name do not uniquely identify a person, the Search For Contact page appears. Select one or more listed persons and click Select.
