The  Task List is an electronic listing of workflow tasks that require a user's attention. It is similar to an email Inbox. Users must log in to to access their task list. Tasks display in a small area on the left side of the screen. Clicking on an icon to perform a task related function will display any associated screens to the right or below the task list depending on it's state.  See images below.

Selected tasks will display with a blue background. Updates to the task list occur automatically every five minutes and an icon is provided to manually refresh the list.

Tip

Quick View does not lock the task.

Let's consider a Leave Approval workflow with two activities: the first step is a form which collects the pertinent information about the Leave request - employee name, starting date and duration of leave, etc. This step is filled out by any employee requesting a leave. The second step is a form that has a section named Manager Approval with a text area control for comments. The designer has setup the Quick View feature for this step in the flow and assigned the role of manager to it.  When a manager clicks on the Quick view icon, the Manager step displays as shown:. 

You will see the following on the Quick View Screen:

The tenant/flow admin clicks the  icon. To move this saved form to a different user's task list, enter the user id of the the person you want to assign it to by checking the user choice radio button in the Assign to: control. Type a username in that field and all users beginning with the letter you have entered appear as dropdown choices. Enter the reason for the reassignment in the Reason field and click submit. In the image below the flow admin, Jerry has reassigned the task to the username jill.

The task list can be made conveniently available in your own web site. By embedding the task list you can access your tasks without having to login to the frevvo web UI directly. This gives the feel that the task list is part of your company portal. To do this click on the Embed icon and copy the task list embed script into your web page.

Note the use of parenthesis () in the URL. Tomcat 8.5 doesn't allow curly braces in URLs since they are not valid URL chars and deemed a security vulnerability. Live Forms currently supports parenthesis as well as curly braces. However, if you are embedding  the Task List in your website,  change the markup to use parenthesis (). Support for curly braces {} will be dropped in a future release.

Here is how an embedded tasks list looks. Even when embedded, the task list is always protected by a login dialog. So if you have not already authenticated to  you will be prompted to enter your  username and password. The login then automatically redirects each person to their own personal task list.
