My tasks

Overview

Organising your tasks into a structured list can make your workload a lot more manageable. It allows you to view a list of your completed and uncompleted tasks and provides you with a sense of accomplishment when you mark an action item as completed.

The My Tasks feature allows you to create your own task list, add any required subtasks and mark these activities off as you complete them. You can also edit this information if it changes and delete the tasks it is no longer required.

This feature is also where you can view tasks assigned to you by your peers and/or your manager. The details on who gave you this assignment, and the work required for you to undertake will all be visible to you.
