Update Tasks in the Task List of Your TeamInbox

After you accept a task assignment and start working on the task, you’ll probably want the status of the task to appear in the schedule, so the workgroup manager can see how much progress you’ve made. Incorporating your task status into the schedule is a three-step process. First, you change the task status information in your TeamInbox, and then you send this information to your workgroup manager. After the workgroup manager receives your task status, he or she then adds this information to the schedule.

To update a task in your TeamInbox

  1. Open your TeamInbox.
  2. Click Task List.
  3. If your Task List includes tasks from multiple projects, select the check box for the group of tasks for which you want to send updates.
  4. In the fields provided for entering the work performed on a task, enter the actual amount of work performed for each period.
    • If you have overtime hours in a period, enter those hours in an overtime field for that task, if an overtime field is displayed.
    • In the Remaining Work field, type the amount of time you think it will take to complete the task.
  5. To save your task updates without sending them to the workgroup manager, click Save.
