Viewing User Tasks

The "My tasks" view shows a complete list of tasks assigned to the current user or to the groups the user belongs to.

To View Tasks

  1. Open the Release Planner Perspective.
  2. Click the My tasks tab. A list of pending manual tasks assigned to the current user is shown. Tasks are sorted by date, with the oldest listed first.
  3. Alternatively, click the Assigned to my groups tab to display all tasks assigned to the groups the current user belongs to.

    The following information is displayed:

    • Task: name of the task.
    • Release: name of the release the task is assigned to.
    • Phase: name of the set of tasks the task is assigned to.
    • Start date: planned date and time when the task will be triggered.
    • End date: planned date and time when the task will be finished.
    • Assignee (only available in the Assigned to my groups view). User or user group to which the task is assigned.

      If a manual task is assigned to a user group the current user belongs to, he/she can claim the task to become the actual assignee. The task assignment can be later revoked, in which case the task will be reassigned to the group. Claim/revoke actions can be triggered if the task has the status waiting or running.

    • Owner: current owner of the task (user or user group).
    • Status: current status of the release.

    To filter down the list of assigned tasks by status, click the Show dropdown list and select one of the following options:

    • Todo (default): tasks with status waiting/running.
    • Completed ok: tasks finished successfully.
    • Failed: tasks which could not be completed due to an error.
    • Draft: default state after the creation of a new task.

    Click a task to close it (if you are the owner) or to see more details (if the task is assigned to other user).
