User Interface Controls in the Task List
My Task List Editor allows you to select user controls that you want to be visible in the Task List, and copy these configurations to other computers or personnel classes.
Controls
All controls of the Task List are visible unless configured otherwise. If the check box next to a control is cleared, the control will not be available during run time.
