Managing tasks

Sets are collections of tasks that make up a project, work package, or change request. After the tasks are run and completed, the set releases them to use again in other operations.

Tasks are the components that need to be added, deleted, or changed for a particular piece of work.

When you click a Set ID in the Approvals table, the Tasks page is displayed. The Tasks table contains a list of all tasks within a set.
