Creating a Task

The tasks in task views are reusable objects that add to the flexibility of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer. Tasks reside in the Task Master table (F9000).

You can create a new task directly in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer by inserting a new task in a task view menu. You define the task using the Task Revisions form. When you create a task, you automatically create a relationship between the new child task and the parent task under which you inserted the new task.

Access JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer.

From Menu Design mode, right-click a folder and click Insert New Task from the menu.
The Task Revisions application displays.
In Task Revisions, complete the Task Name field.
If you accept upgrades or updates from JD EnterpriseOne, Solution Explorer will remove any custom tasks that you have created if you have named the tasks with a prefix JDE, BPM, or RMB. Make sure as you create new tasks that you use a prefix different than the ones listed here so that your custom tasks remain viable if an upgrade or update is performed on your system.
