Working with assigned tasks

For task groups, you can click View Flow to see a resizable read-only view of the task flow in the task group. The Task Flow Viewer uses color codes to illustrate the different stages of the tasks. For example, a blue stage indicates that its status is Closed, but a yellow stage shows its status is Staged. The Viewer also shows you the flow among tasks.
