Work with task groups
- Create a task group
Before creating a task group, have a workspace created. Task groups are created in workspaces.
- Create a task group from a template
Create a task group from a template if the task group to create is similar to one of the saved task group templates. When you create a task group from a template, all tasks belonging to the task group template will be created as well.
- Activating a task group
- Changing a task group
- Add comments to a task group (Workspace Manager)
Add comments to communicate with other Workspace Managers and Workspace Content Contributors and to track the details of changes made as Workspace Content Contributors work on their assigned tasks.
- View task group comments (Workspace Manager)
Use comments to communicate with other Workspace Managers and Workspace Content Contributors and to track the details of changes made by the Workspace Content Contributors.
- Approve or reject a task group (Workspace Manager)
Before a task group can be approved or rejected, all of the tasks in the task group must be completed.
- Cancel task groups
Task groups in any state can be canceled.
- Delete task groups
You cannot delete a task group once it has been activated.To prevent work on a task group after it has been activated, cancel the task group. When you delete an inactive task group, the task group and its tasks are deleted from the system. They cannot be displayed in the Workspace Administration Tool.
- Schedule the commit of a task group
Scheduling the commit of a task group controls the date and time when the task group data is committed to the production-ready data. The scheduling must occur before the task groups are approved otherwise the task groups will be committed right after they are approved.
- Create a task group template
Create a task group template from an existing task group to reuse a task group and its tasks in any workspace. A task group template contains the task group and all of the tasks of the original task group.
- Enable retry for quick publish
When creating a task group in the workspace, if you enable quick publish, the files and data changes in the task group is published to production as soon as all tasks are marked complete and all approvals are satisfied. However, if quick publish fails, the files do not get published. You can enable quick publish retry so that quick publish keeps retrying for a number of times after the first attempt.
