Managing tasks in the Tasks console


As a case agent, manage tasks efficiently by using the task console. Save time and effort by using various functionalities in the task console to perform multiple actions on tasks. On the task console, you can view task statistics, search tasks based on preset filters or task statistics, perform certain quick actions like sending an email, updating the status, and adding a note without opening the task. 

The following image shows the functionalities in the task console:
