Consider these your "to-do" lists. You use the Scheduler to place items on these lists. At a glance, you can browse through all tasks, information items and system events that were placed on your Organizer for the selected day.
Items on the list are either completed or uncompleted. All uncompleted tasks and information items scheduled for dates prior to the current day are rolled over when you log on to the system.
A task is an Action, Process, Report, Analysis, Rule, or Detail. When you schedule a task, it appears on your Organizer or another user's Organizer if you scheduled it for someone else.
The Task list shows all tasks scheduled for you. At the time you complete the scheduled task, the Completed field is automatically selected, indicating the task has been completed.
The following table describes how to work with the Task list.

Like the Task list, the Completed field indicates the completion status. However, an information item is not an Action, Process, Analysis, Report, Rule, or Detail, so your system cannot detect whether or not it is complete. You must change an information item's status.
