What constitutes an "open' task?

How does the system decide which tasks to put in this list? Is it based on status, created date? A combination of fields?
Any help would be appreciated!
B

I thought that was the case, but when I look at the open tasks on the homepage, it only seems to have ones for the current month. Is this correct?

  • Change link in "My Open Tasks"

    Hi all,
    the links in "My Open Tasks" always refer to the activity.
    Is it possible to change the link directly to another target e.g. a sales order?
    br
    Jürgen

    Hello Joaquin,
    thank you for your answer.
    In my case I think I have to change component CRMCMP_GS_WC View TodaysTask.
    Method CL_CRMCMP_G_TODAYSTASKS_IMPL->EH_ONDISPLAY determines the GUID of the document and triggers the outbound plug.
    I could enhance the component and set up a new outbound plug op_toorder for example.
    In my case the activity is used to tell the user to print a specific order. So I could manipulate the behaviour in this method to navigate directly to the order in change mode.
    What do you think?

  • Closing an open task programatically

    HI,
    I have created a custom component in order to establish connection to BPM .
    The flow is such that , the connection gets established and i need to fetch the tasks based on the workflowInstance and user ID specified.
    I am able to fetch the tasks from which i extract the task state.
    Need to close the state of an open task i.e need to update the state of the task to close. Not able to do it.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • When closing my Firefox window, all processes are not closing requiring me to open task manager and kill the process before using Firefox again. Received recent upgrade and hasn't worked right since then.

  • Open Task Button does not come in Outlook

    I have a three level approval workflow in which each level an email is generated to the approve to approve or reject.
    But suddenly the Open Task Button does not pop up in Outlook 2010 anymore can you tell me why?
    Srinivasan Kidambi

    had the same issue with External users not using Outlook. This is how I fixed it:
    Open the task list that the workflow is using and connect it to Outlook. Then kick off a workflow to make a new task. Once the task is made open the task from Outlook. The bottom options (review, perform the specific req. for the task, and Open this task)
    are now links. Hover your mouse over the link and you will see the address.
    Now open SPD, connect to your site and open the work flow assc. to the doc lib.
    Start editing the workflow and click the "Approval" link
    Click "Change the behavior of a single task"
    You are going to have to look for all the instances of "then e-mail task notification to "Current Task:Assigned to"
    Open "Current Task:Assigned to"
    Click where you want he link to go and hit the Hyperlink button
    name the link whatever you want, then hit the string builder ("..." button)
    Copy the link from the Task in Outlook into the string builder (if you use External addressing you can also hard code the External address).
    At the very end of the link where is says ID=(then a number) delete the number and DO NOT put a space. Click the Add or Change Lookup button and use "Current Task: Approval" "ID" "As String" and click ok. Should like this:
    Now this will not pop the form up, but it will send the user straight to the task form (might have to enter username and password) for the correct task. Remember to do this to all the "Current Task:Assigned to" in the workflow. It sounds like a chuck of
    work but it does not really take thaty long on the OOTB Approval workflow.
    Just wanted wanted to add my two cents.

  • What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

    What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
    I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
    Briefly, the bug:
    I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
    I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
    The workaround:
    If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
    I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
    I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
    So, either
    1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
    2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
    or
    3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
    I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    Hi David
    I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
    So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
    Case 1
    I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
    Case 2
    Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer.  The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
    Case 3
    If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
    I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
    Thanks in advance

  • Filtering My Open Task in SAP CRM based on Status, Transaction & Partner Function

    Hello
    Whenever i create a Task in SAP CRM, it displays that transaction in the My Open Task of all Business Partners involved in that Transaction.
    I want to restrict the My Open Tasks based on Transaction Type, Status and Partner Function.
    1) The system should work as it is for all other Tasks but for my Custom Transaction Type the logic should be based on status of the Transaction
    2) When My Open Task component is prepared the system should consider the Status and Partner Function as well i.e. if the status is Approval of Manager, the system should show the Open Task only to the Manager and not other parties.
    3) if the status of the Transaction is Open, the system should only display this Transaction / Task only to Employee Responsible and not to Manager and other people involved in their My Open Tasks.
    I have gone through the following post in SCN:
    https://scn.sap.com/thread/2056959
    I have implemented the method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT as per the post but it does not do anything. When i redefine the method GET_QUERY_RESULT and remove everything,it does not prepare any list.
    If possible please specify which method needs to be redefined in the component/view CRMCMP_GS_WC/TodaysTasks & if possible please share the code that needs to be maintained in that method.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Method DO_INIT_CONTEXT should be redefined
    This should be redifined to get the collections with your required filter criteria.
    * get the collection of entities for the tasks
       lr_col      = get_query_result( gc_status-open ).
    If this does not help, Delete the collections which are not required after above selection but before this code.
       me->typed_context->resultnew->collection_wrapper->set_collection( lr_col ).
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I understand that when you click on Edit this task in the message bar in InfoPath 2010, nothing happens. Does this happen when you open the email which contains the ‘Edit this task’ link?
    If so, you can try to check whether this key is in your regedit. If so, you can delete this key and have a test.:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
    Back up the regedit keys before making any changes. For more information about backup and restore the regedit, please refer to these sites:

  • How do you find what files are open?

    I have a disk utility that needs to unmount my secondary drive but it is unable to stating there are open files. I know there is a UNIX command that shows what files are open but I can't find the command. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
    The command you are after is lsof. Read the manual to find out about the options (there are an awful lot, but most of them you won't need).
