Tasks App Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts available when working in the Tasks app are listed in the following table. Some keystroke combinations only work when the cursor is located in a certain section; the Focus column in the table specifies the section of the tab when that is the case. For more information on the tab, see Working with the Tasks App (MediaCentral Asset Management).
