Applying Actions to User Tasks
You can apply actions to active user tasks — for example, a Send Request, Approve, or Reject action. Which action can be applied depends on the configuration of the process to which the task belongs in MediaCentral Asset Management.
Note that if the task template includes mandatory fields, you must fill these fields before you can apply the action. The check for populated mandatory fields is ignored when a Cancel action is applied.
To apply an action to a task:
1. Select a task in the Task List.
The Task Details area shows an Action button for each allowed action that can be applied. If the task is locked by another user, the buttons are grayed out. If no actions are allowed for the selected task, no buttons are shown.
2. Do one of the following:
Right-click the selected task in the Task List and select the action that you want to apply.
Click the button of the action you want to apply at the bottom of the Task Details area.
While the action is applied, the task is locked and all action controls are disabled. After the action is successfully applied, the lock is released and the Task List and Task Details areas are refreshed. Depending on the filter applied to the Tasks app and the process configuration, the task might be removed from the Task List or a new user task might be created and shown.
