You will see your tasks when you login. If your user account has the special frevvo.designer role, you must click on the My Tasks tab to view your tasks. Customers using a space, may have to click on the Important Items tab to access the Task List. The icon expands and contracts the task list . It will show a menu with two selections, My Tasks and Shared Items when it is expanded.

When a task step is assigned to a role rather than a specific user, that task will simultaneously appear on the task list of all people with that role.

Quick Approval 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 workflow 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 Approval Screen:

A task will also appear in your task list if you clicked the save icon/button on a form/workflow in order to complete it at a later time. When you click the perform icon for a saved task, the form/workflow will load back into your browser with all the form field values as you left them when you last clicked save.
If the task displays the disabled icon, this indicates that the task is currently being performed by another person or that another person has clicked the lock icon to reserve the task. When this is the case, the only person that can complete this task is the person with the lock. View the audit trail or hover over a locked task to see who holds the lock. You can ask that person to unlock the task if you want to perform it. You can also ask your tenant administrator to unlock a task.
If you see the error in the image below when clicking on the Perform this Task icon on the Task list, it is most likely because the visibility of the workflow is set to private instead of public in tenant or public. Notify the form/workflow designer that you are receiving this error.
The Unsaved Changes Warning Message displays if data is changed when performing a task and the changes are not saved i.e. clicking theInbox icon without saving the changes.

Some task do not display lock/unlock icons. A workflow step assigned specifically to you, rather than a role, must be performed by only you. In this sense such a workflow is currently locked for only you to perform.
The same is true for saved forms. Saved forms must be performed, completed and submitted by the person that started them. They cannot be unlocked back to a pool of users to complete.
Once a task is locked, all other users with this role can no longer perform this task. They will see the perform icon for this task on their task list change as shown below to a indicate that they cannot be clicked:
The image below shows the Task List of Manager Jack Smith after Manager Jerry Mouse has claimed the Expense Report submitted by employee Giorgio Armani. Clicking on the perform icon will not display the task. If you hover over these icons to a tool tip with the username of the person who currently has this task locked displays. If a task is currently locked, the last entry in the audit trail will show who locked it and when.
You can ask that person or your tenant administrator to unlock the task if you want to perform it.

Imagine that Sally in the mortgage processing department was working on a mortgage application and had saved the loan form. Sally then left for a week vacation. The tenant admin can login and search for all forms saved by Sally. Workflow administrators can search for all saved forms associated with the mortgage application workflow. Here we see the loan application task she was working on.
The tenant/workflow 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 workflow admin, Jerry has reassigned the task to the username jill.
Now when Sally next logs into her account she'll no longer see this saved form on her task list. When the user jill logs into she will see Sally's saved form on her task list and can perform, complete and submit the form.
...
A "Task Successfully Modified" Message displays.
An email is sent to the new email address with a link to the Approval step of the workflow. If the original recipient clicks the link in the email that they received, they will see a message informing them that the submission has already been processed.
The Audit Trail shows the original and reassigned email addresses.

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.
Here is how an embedded tasks list looks. Even when embedded, the task list is always protected by a login dialog.
