Display or Control | Description | |
1 | List and Task button  | Toggles display of the Task List and Task Details on or off. When toggled on the button is colored orange.  You can have both the List and Task buttons simultaneously toggled on but not toggled off. When only one is on and you click that button, the system automatically toggles that display off and the other display on. |
2 | Refresh button | Refreshes the display of active tasks in the Task List. |
3 | Lock Indicator icon | Indicates if the selected task is currently locked for editing. |
 | The task is free for editing. | |
 | You are currently editing the task and it is therefore locked for other users. As soon as you start editing a task it is locked and the Lock Indicator icon is colored orange. | |
 | The task cannot be edited because it is already locked — for example, because another user is already editing the task. In this case you see a message when you hover the mouse pointer over the Lock Indicator icon. The lock is released after you successfully applied an action or delegated the task, when you select another task, or close the Tasks pane. | |
