Concept: Tasks in Workday VNDLY

Tasks help you better manage your day-to-day tasks by keeping track of to-do items assigned to a user or a group of users. Tasks are available to all user roles, except contractors.
You can access tasks from 3 main places:
  • The
    Home
     page.
  • The
    Task
    side panel.
  • The
    Tasks
     list.

Tasks List

To view the
Tasks
 list, click
View All Tasks
 from the
Home
 page or from the
Tasks
 side panel.
The
Tasks
 page is a comprehensive list of all of your tasks. In addition, you can filter, sort, and search. Bulk action functionalities are available.
The
Tasks
 page has tab filters for
My Tasks
 And
All
, with the default filter being
My Tasks
. You can also narrow the tasks that display using the filters on the left side bar. Example: If you'd like to see
Interview
 tasks in
Pending
 status, you could check those boxes.
You can filter the
Tasks
 page by:
  • Pinned
    .
  • Current Status
    .
  • Categories
    .
  • Locations
    .
  • Assignees
    .
You can also search for tasks by:
  • Description
  • Category Name
  • Component Name
  • Component ID
You can sort tasks by:
  • Important
     (default).
  • Category A - Z
    .
  • Category Z - A
    .
When using
Sort By: Category
the
Important
 section doesn't display.
The
Tasks
 list page also gives users an extended view of their tasks' information, like what user roles a task gets assigned. Near the bottom of each task, you see the
Assigned to roles
 information. Example: Assigned to roles: Administrator, Program Team.
For each task, you can perform 4 actions using the
Actions
