[March 2019] Release Notes (Major)
My Work View
- Introducing a new view in TaskRay: My Work. This view will allow users to focus on the work that is assigned to them, as well as provide a centralized place to view notifications important to the user's individual work within the app.
- Added a new tab to the TaskRay toolbar to access the new view. The tab is My Work.
- The My Work View is set to display tasks and checklist items that are assigned to the user and are not completed. This also includes any open checklist items that are assigned to the user on other users' tasks.
- Applied styling to tasks in this view to display task name, task group name, project name, due date, status, as well as shortcuts to Chatter, files, and time tracking on the task.
- Applied styling to checklist items in this view to display the text of the checklist items, as well as checkboxes to complete them. Checklists appear below associated tasks in this view.
- Applied special styling to the tasks that are owned by other users but contain checklist items that are assigned to the user viewing the My Work View. These tasks will appear greyed out and display a label for clarification.
- Created and placed a status box on every task row. The box will display the task status List value, as well as provide three action options on hover: block/unblock task, change task status list, and complete the task.
