Tasks

This tab is not turned on by default, but instead the Workplan tab is more commonly used for managing Tasks.  The differences are that the Workplan tab allows you to set up more of a heirarchical task list for your project, while this tab is simply a list of the Tasks.  However the task manager is a very effective tool for assigning responsibility for project-related tasks. The user is able to assign tasks by name with priority, due date, requested by, and status. Also, the assigned person receives notification of the task in their email address and through a link they are redirected to the specific task page in ProjectSpaces. As tasks are added, they may be sorted according to the attributes mentioned above, so that a member may see at any time the tasks assigned to or by him/her or others.
