Hiding the Task Pane

Siebel CRM automatically displays the Task Pane by default. Siebel CRM does the following if you configured to hide the Task Pane:

• Hides the Task Pane for any task, including any completed, paused, or cancelled task instance. The Task Pane remains hidden even if the user logs out and then 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.

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

For more information, see About the Task Pane.
