Creating a task

When you create a task, it is automatically assigned to you and set as your current task. Alternatively, you can create a task and have it associated automatically with a change request.

Procedure

  1. On the Current Task toolbar, click Create Task icon.

    The Create Task dialog box displays all the fields required to complete a task, even custom fields added by a CM administrator.

  2. Enter a synopsis for the task.
  3. Enter a description of the work necessary to complete the task.
  4. Set the release for the task from the Release list.
  5. Select a resolver name from the Resolver list.

    Selecting a resolver specifies who works on the task. The resolver receives mail announcing that you have assigned the task to them.

  6. Enter other properties, as required.
  7. Associate a change request with the current task by entering the change request ID or by clicking Query icon.

    The Select Change Request dialog box appears. Choose the appropriate change request and click OK. The change request ID displays in the Change Request field.

  8. Distributed CM users can assign a task to a user who works in a different database by using the Modifiable In list box.

    Select the appropriate database, then change the resolver in the Resolver list.

  9. Click OK.
    Note: If you created this task to fix a bad task, create a relationship between the fix task and the bad task. See Specifying one task to fix another for details.
