About the task pane
When you click a task in the My Tasks page, its parent object opens on the left and the task pane opens on the right. The task pane provides shortcuts to many IBM® Marketing Operations functions, context for the task you are working on, and tools that allow you to move directly through the workflow.
Depending on the parent object you are working on and your permissions, you can click links in the task pane to do the following tasks.
*
Edit project tabs.
*
Add attachments. See Working with attachments.
*
Read and post messages. See To read a message on the message board and To post a message on the message board.
*
Manage team members and reviewers. See Managing project members and To manage reviewers.
*
Find and replace task owners.
*
Edit the workflow. See To edit a workflow spreadsheet.
*

*
Link an existing program, project, or request to the parent object. See To link a program to a plan.
The task pane also provides context while you work by showing the next task in the workflow (that you have permission to see) on the bottom of the task pane. If you do not have permission to edit it, the task is in view mode. You can also record effort time and write hand-off comments.
The following tools allow you to move through multiple tasks and approvals directly on the task pane.
