The Tasks functionality allows you to create a ‘to-do’ list within the system. You can create your own personal task list, as well as assign tasks to other users, or set up general tasks that are visible to every user.

On the right-hand side of the start page, you will see a column with a list of tasks. Personal tasks are tasks assigned to you. General tasks are tasks that are not assigned to anyone in particular. You can also view the personal tasks of other users, but this is only available if you have administrator rights.

Step-by-step instructions
