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

Note: This functionality is not applicable to the Mobile-sized Task List.

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.

Tip: All changes to the My Task List Editor section must be saved before you can copy the configuration to other computers or personnel classes.
