Similar to items, Tasks can be customised to include CDFs. Tasks, however, are somewhat different from items in that they are entered and modified directly in {{IMSMANG}} without using Data Entry Forms or the approval process. This means that historical data about Tasks is not tracked (except for status change) and any updates made to Tasks automatically replace previous data.
==Viewing Tasks==__NOEDITSECTION__
===On the {{IMSMANG}} Navigation Window===__NOEDITSECTION__
[[Task Tab | Tasks]] can be displayed in the items pane by selecting a specific Country Structure.
