Using the Task List Context Menu to Update Tasks
|
The Task List context-menu gives you the ability to quickly open the Update Pane for a selected task, and update that task.
Some options in the menu are update options and require Update permission while others require Edit permissions. The options you see depend on which task(s) you select and what your relationship is to those task(s). Note: Currently, all options when multiple tasks are selected require Edit permission.
Project managers can also use the Selection menu to edit tasks in bulk in the Task List. See (opens in popup window).
To Update tasks using the Context Menu:
-
for which you want to update or edit tasks.
- On the Project Menu, click
Tasks, and Task List.
- Select the task(s) you want
to update by clicking in the task row for each task.
- Right-click to open the context menu.
The options
you see depend on your relationship to the selected task(s), and the way your organization tracks task progress. How your organization tracks task progress is determined by the configuration set by your administrator. For details, see Editing Timesheet Properties.
Important: Your ability to edit or update tasks is determined by your permissions. If you only have permission to edit or update a subset of the tasks you selected, only those for which you have the correct permission will be updated or edited. This means that some of the selected tasks may not be changed in the way you anticipated.
