Chapter 12 - Assigning and Reviewing Tasks
A task is a request from one user to another to perform an action within Ektron CMS400.NET. Examples of a tasks include:
updating content
publishing content
updating an image
reordering a collection
If you are not in the administrators group or assigned the Task-create role, the Tasks folder only displays tasks assigned to you or that you assigned to another user or user group. You can also assign tasks to yourself.
Administrators can view all tasks, regardless of who they are assigned to or by.
A task may or may not be related to a specific piece of content. If it is, you can access content then “attach” a task to it. This kind of task is managed just like the other tasks, but you can also view and update it via the attached content.
