Create General Tasks
Use the SAP Analytics Cloud calendar to create general tasks for yourself or assign them to other people. General tasks help you manage quick and simple workflows that don’t need any further review and that aren’t related to system activities.
Context
You can create a general task to let one or more assignees perform data entry in your planning process, or to accomplish any other task you'd like to manage in the calendar.
General tasks help you to monitor progress on a project. They can be for you alone or you can assign them to one or more colleagues. You can even assign tasks to colleagues who are not yet members (do not have SAP Analytics Cloud accounts). Use their email address and they will receive information on how to get an account.
Task owners or assignees can add work files to a task: These can be stories, analytic applications, or URLs. The assignees enter data directly in the story or analytic application and submit their task from there. If multiple assignees work on the task, only one of them needs to submit the task to accomplish it.
You can define the start date according to your needs:
-
Set the start date and time. Need to schedule something on a recurring basis? You can set up recurrence, and change individual occurrences as needed.
-
Let the task start once another calendar event reaches a certain status (accomplished, for example), or several other calendar events reach one of the defined statuses.
-
If your task is grouped within a parent process, let it start at the same time as its parent process.
