Selecting a task
After you change or set the current task, every file
and directory that you create or change is associated with the current
task. Additionally, you can use the results of a query to modify task
properties and to remove a file or change request from a task.
Completing the current task
When you are finished working on your current task, you
can complete the task. The associated files and directories are checked
in first, and then the task is completed. Additionally, the task no
longer displays on the Current Task toolbar
and is no longer modifiable.
Assigning a task
Developers can assign a task to themselves if they created
the task. A user with assigner role can assign tasks to themselves
and others. Modifying any custom attributes (which you may have created
on the task type) also requires the assigner role.
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.
Copying a task
When you copy a task, it is automatically assigned to you
and set as your current task.
Excluding a task
Excluding a task prevents it from being used automatically in a project grouping. For example, if an object is breaking a build, you can exclude the task that contained that object.
Adding to the current task
You can add a specific file, directory, project, or change
request to the current task.
Adding a task to a folder
Users typically do not add tasks to a folder
manually. However, sometimes a special situation occurs.
