What are tasks?

Tasks are action items connected to a course page and assigned to a course team member. They help teams coordinate course development and track work that needs to be completed.

Access Requirements

• System Administrators and Course Administrators can create tasks in any course.
• Course Leaders, Editors, and Approvers can create tasks in their assigned courses.
• Only Course Leaders can view tasks in the Tasks in My Courses tab. For other roles, this tab does not display any tasks.

Tasks View

The Tasks view contains two tabs:

• My Tasks lists the tasks assigned to you. For each task, the table displays the course, module, page, task, and entry date. Select a task to open its associated course page.
  

  
  

• Tasks in My Courses lists all tasks assigned within courses where you are a Course Leader. For each task, the table displays the course, module, page, task, assignee, and entry date. Select a task to open its associated course page.
  

Filtering

Use filters to narrow the tasks displayed in each view.

• Filter by Task Status: In both the My Tasks and Tasks in My Courses tabs, filter the list to display Open Tasks or Completed Tasks. Shown below is a filtered view of completed tasks.
  
  
• Filter by Person: In the Tasks in My Courses tab, filter tasks by the person assigned to them. This filtering option is not available in the My Tasks tab. Shown below is a filtered view for Abby Approver's tasks.
