The work list buttons can appear in a zone’s column heading, .

Clicking the icon results in populating the dashboard Work List Zone with the entire column. The user may use the Work List zone to easily process entries one at a time without returning back to the source query zone. The work list stays populated until the user overlays the work list by clicking a different column's icon.

When a user clicks on a work list entry in the dashboard, the system behaves as if the user clicked on the hyperlink in the zone. In addition, the system adds a check mark next to the item showing that the user has "worked on" or visited the entry.
