Opening the Task Editor

The following procedure shows how to open the task editor.

To open the task editor

1. In the Workspace Explorer, create or open a Developer Workspace – for more information, see Create or Open a Workspace.

2. In the Object Explorer, click Task.

3. In the Tasks list, locate and select the task you want to modify, then:

   • (Siebel Tools) Right-click the task and select Edit Task Flow.

   • (Web Tools) Click Edit Task Flow (the pencil icon). You can also drill down on the Task Name in the Tasks list to open the task that you want.

     Note: If the task you want to open is in an editable Workspace, then Edit Task Flow (the pencil icon) will be available, otherwise Preview (the eye icon) will be available to open the task in read-only mode.

   The task opens in the Task Editor along with the following panes: Canvas, Palettes, Properties, and Multi Value Property Window (MVPW). If the Palettes or Properties pane is not visible:

   • In Siebel Tools, click View, select Windows, and then select the Palettes menu item or Properties menu item.

   • In Web Tools, decrease the size of the Canvas pane by dragging the pane border. To hide the Palettes or Properties pane again, drag the pane border to reduce the size of the pane so that it disappears. For more information, see Main Elements of the Task Editor.

If a limited amount of space exists on your monitor, then you can hide the Object Explorer, Palettes pane, or Properties pane. You can then access each pane through tabs.
