Executive Summary  (ID: 19)   Question  

TaskMeister evolved as an in-house tool to manage software tasks in collaboration with our Bizware clients. It became useful and popular among clients wishing to use it for their own task management needs.

TaskMeister's basic design philosophy is simplicity, to represent tasks as one might on paper lists, but automated. By making so many choices pick lists, the user's learning curve is designed to remain short.

TaskMeister has forms to enter and modify tasks and to select which tasks to display. Your display is in sortable tables with links to the complete details on each task. Tasks can have transaction notes, and they can be displayed on a calendar. User security is managed by privilege levels.

Above TaskMeister's row of command buttons is an unidentified picklist. It lists the canned views of the tasks that you and your fellow users can produce to display task tables, what some users call task reports. These canned views are officially called saved selection conditions, and there's lots more help with the features that help you produce and manage them. Until you get the hang of it, TaskMeister comes with an initial saved selection to produce your open tasks, that is, tasks assigned to you that you have yet to complete.

Above the picklist of saved selection conditions is the name of your account, and to the right of it is your logged-in name. Make sure those are correct.

TaskMeister operations focus on the command buttons along its horizontal menu bar from "Figments" through "Logout". Except for Logout, each of those command buttons brings up a display with its own help icon and with help available for each field and named table header. The user is encouraged to click each of those command buttons and read its help.

Along the top of this help record, and all of TaskMeister's help records, is a"Manual" button. Clicking that displays the comprehensive and printable help manual for TaskMeister with a clickable table of contents. Digging through that is a good idea. If any help record isn't clear, you should contact your TaskMeister rep since we like to improve its baseline of help records.

All of TaskMeister's help records are managed by another tool called HelpMeister which allows your sysadmin to update any of these help records without programmer assistance. If you need a help record customized to better reflect your organization's policies or to clarify how you should use TaskMeister, ask your sysadmin to display the relevant help record and click its "Edit" button found along the bottom.
