Introduction of Separate Task Categories: Tasks Assigned Today and Tasks Due Today
Overview
To enhance task management and prioritization for users, the existing Today's Tasks category has been replaced with two distinct categories: Tasks Assigned Today and Tasks Due Today. Previously, these two types of tasks were combined under a single view, making it challenging for users to differentiate between newly assigned tasks and tasks that required immediate attention due to their due date.
This change ensures that users can clearly distinguish between newly assigned tasks and those needing completion on the current day. By splitting the categories, office staff benefit from improved task visibility, better workload organization, and the ability to prioritize critical tasks more effectively without any change to the underlying task assignment or completion processes.
Functionality
- The Today's Tasks category has been removed from the Task Navigation panel in the Task Workspace.
- Two new navigation categories have been introduced:
- Tasks Assigned Today: Displays all incomplete tasks assigned to the logged-in user on the current business date, regardless of due date.
- Tasks Due Today: Displays all incomplete tasks assigned to the logged-in user that are due on the current business date, regardless of their assignment date.
- Both categories appear under the Task Navigation panel and are accessible in the same manner as the previous Today’s Tasks category.
- If a task matches the criteria for both (assigned today and due today), it will appear in both categories, ensuring full visibility.
- Completed tasks do not appear in either category.
Additional Notes
- Tasks Assigned Today may include tasks with future dates as long as they were assigned to the user today.
- Tasks Due Today may include tasks assigned earlier but due on the current business date.
- This update does not change the existing permissions, task workflows, or business logic beyond the filtering criteria for these new categories.
