Note

By default the Task view will only show Task assigned to the current user for the active iteration in the selected project. The Filter dialog supports a "Show All Tasks" checkbox. Use this option to view tasks for all users in the active iteration.

Updating Tasks

Once the filter is closed the Task Window will refresh and list all VersionOne Task based on the filter. To update a task, modify the attribute directly in the grid. Once you’re finished updating a Task, click the Save icon to commit your changes to VersionOne.
