Workflows V: Handy tips for tasks

Outlook To-Do Bar with 4 tasks

The To-Do Bar with tasks.

But what about tasks in Outlook 2007? How are they different from workflow tasks? Tasks in Outlook are created by you, and not by a workflow. You create them to keep track of things you need to get done. They're shown in handy places, like the To-Do Bar shown here. This gives you an at-a-glance view at what you need to work on.

As you saw in previous courses, workflow tasks end up in your inbox as e-mail messages. But they do not show up in the Outlook 2007 To-Do Bar.

But what if you wanted them to? What if you are a task fanatic and you want to see workflow tasks inside Outlook 2007? You can do that.
