Creating tasks pages

When you create a task page, you specify one or more of the following: the status of the task, the due date and start date of the task, the member responsible for completing the task, the members who can edit the information in that task page, and the task priority.

Enter the room in which you want to create the task page.
To begin creating a task page in the Tasks folder, click Tasks in the table of contents, and then click New Task Page.
Enter a title for the task page.
(Optional) To display the page title, your name, and the date you created the task page at the top of the finished page, check the box next to "Show the title, author and date on page?"
Specify the following:

The status of the task.
The due date (optional).
Whether or not the task page defines a milestone.
The start date (optional).
The member to whom you're assigning the task (optional).
The members who can edit the task.
The task priority (optional).
Whether or not you want the task page to appear in the calendar in the current room.

Enter a description of the task in the contents box.
(Optional) Attach one or more files to the page.
Click Save, Publish, Publish As, or Cancel.

Note If the Tasks folder does not appear in the table of contents, a QuickPlace manager either renamed the Tasks folder or removed it from the room. Ask a QuickPlace manager for assistance if the Tasks folder does not appear in the table of contents. If there is no task folder, then there will be no task form.

Adding or removing attachments

Add an attachment to a task page if you want to include a file in the new task page, or if you want people to be able to copy file to their own computers so they can look at or modify the file using the same application you used to create or download it.

To add an attachment in Internet Explorer, you need to tell QuickPlace the location of the file that you want to attach. Either drag the file icon from your desktop into the attachments area of the page, which is below the contents box, or follow this procedure:

Click the Browse button below the contents box. (You may have to scroll the Browse button into view using the scroll bar at the right of the screen.)
In the File Upload dialog box that appears on the screen, select the name of the file you want to attach to the page, and then click Open.

When you finish creating the task page, QuickPlace creates a copy of the file and attaches it to the page. When you view the finished task page, you'll see the download control and the download icon.

To add an attachment in Netscape:

Click the Browse button below the contents box and select a file. (You may have to scroll the Browse button into view using the scroll bar at the right of the screen.)

To delete an attachment from a task page, delete the contents of the box next to the Browse button.
