Available Functions Depending on the Task Status

The list in this topic provides an overview of all the functions that are available to a task depending on its type and on its status. Some functions are always available no matter the status of the task. You find a complete list in alphabetical order of all task functions, regardless of their type or status, here: Working with Tasks.

Right-click a task and select the function from the context-menu. You can also select multiple tasks in bulk. The resulting menu displays the options that are common and available for all selected tasks taking into account the type of task and the status.
