SOLIDWORKS Manage lets you control and manage tasks efficiently.

  • Task Board is now accessible from the Capacity Planning dashboard and My Work area. You can group tasks based on priority or status. You can also order them by subject, start date, due date, created date, or progress.
  • The following new context menu items are available for the Tasks in the My Work area:
    • Assign To
    • Mark as complete
    • Delete
  • In the Default Dashboard - Tasks, the following enhancements are done:
    • Part number and Priority columns are available.
    • Urgent tasks are highlighted.
    • The order of tasks is the same as in My Tasks.
    • The user interface retains the order, filter, and item selection even after a refresh.
  • The owners can control the tasks that an assignee can do. In the Task Templates form, under Allow assigned users to, select the following:
    • Add attachments
    • Remove attachments
    • Change details list
  • The following options are selected by default to make the newly created tasks private:
    • Create new tasks as “private” in the My Options dialog box
    • Private option in the Stage Task dialog box
    These tasks are visible only to the owner and the assignee.
  • When you select Email task owner when task is completed in the System Administration tool, the owner of the tasks automatically gets notified on the task completion. The email is sent to the owners for the tasks that are created after you select the option.
  • Tasks can have a main attachment such as a project or process that can be edited or deleted.
