5.3 About Unified Task Lists

Unified Task Lists allow you to see a summary of your tasks.

Unified Task Lists allow you to see a summary of your tasks, similar to an inbox. Although the name and exact configuration of Unified Task Lists is specific to the application you're using, there are different Report Contexts available:
  • My Tasks - Displays any tasks you are a Potential or Actual Owner for. Your actions include approving or rejecting these tasks.
  • Admin Tasks - Displays any tasks you are the Business Administrator for. Your actions includee updating the priority or delegating these tasks.
  • Initiated by Me - Displays any tasks you initiated. Your actions include updating the priority or canceling these tasks.

In the Sample Approvals App, the My Tasks context is represented by the My Approvals page, the Admin Tasks context by the Approvals Administration page, and the Initiated by Me context by the My Requests page. Note that you may not be able to see all pages in your own application, depending on your role and how the application is configured.

Unified Task Lists can be created from the Create Page Wizard, and further customized by the application developer. Unified Task Lists are either embedded into an existing application, like the Sample Approvals App, or part of a separate application all together.
