What is the purpose of the Tasks view?

The Tasks view lets you view tasks that have been created.

Note: The task does not refer to operating system related process or task, but with a (engineering) work task.

A task could be created to record reminders or follow-up on something later. In order to create a Task , select Add Task in the Task view. Tasks can also be linked to a resource that would allow you to write a note to yourself so that it can be executed or looked at a later time. In order to create a new task that is associated with a resource follow steps given below:

  1. Double-click the source file.

    Source file appears in the Editor view (refer to the image listed below).

  2. Right-click the left-hand side of source line where a task should be added.

    A context menu appears.

  3. From the context menu, select Add Task.

    The Properties dialog box appears.

  4. Type a description of what should be done with this task in the Description textbox.
  5. Click OK.

The new task appears in the Task view.

Alternatively, you can also add a comment block with a \todo tag in the source code file. For example, following comment block in the source code file creates a new task in the Tasks view.

  /*! \todo I need to fix this bug here... */
