Viewing your Task Inbox
Your task inbox contains approval requests, ad-hoc tasks,
and notification requests for which you are a specified recipient.
Filter Tasks in your Inbox
By default, your task inbox contains all tasks that
are relevant to you. You can set up a filter so that you see only
a subset of tasks.
Notification Requests
You can create notification requests that stipulate
that acknowledgments are required and you can specify deadlines for
acknowledgements.
Archive Tasks
Archiving is a method of removing unwanted tasks
from your inbox.
