Tasks are action items that can be initiated on a course page and assigned to a course team member.
Tasks can be initiated by System Administrators and Course Administrators in any course. Course Leaders, Editors, and Approvers may add tasks in their assigned courses.
Tasks are configured in the page view using the Tasks: panel.
In addition to the page view, tasks can be accessed from the Dashboard view. The Tasks pane shows the five most-recent tasks assigned to the logged-in user.
Select View All Tasks to go to the Tasks view and see the logged-in user's tasks.
The Tasks view has two tabbed views—My Tasks and Tasks in My Courses.
The My Tasks tab lists all the logged-in user's tasks and the corresponding course, module, page, task, and entry date. Each task is hyperlinked to the course page that it references.
The Tasks in My Courses tab shows all tasks assigned in a Course Leader's courses with the course name, module, page, task, assignee, and entry date. Each task is hyperlinked to the course page that it references.
If the logged-in user is not a Course Leader, the Tasks in My Courses view won't display any tasks.
