The Quick Tasks object provides you with access to tasks that you perform regularly. The object spans one-third of the Dashboard width. The list of available tasks is limited to tasks that do not require a community or household context, and which do not require you to select an item before they are started. Click an available task to execute that task. Click the Configure button to add or delete tasks. When adding a task to your Quick Tasks list, you can enter your own description for the task.
Standard Dashboard Quick Tasks Objects can be created at System Administration > Maintain Lookup Tables - Dashboard Standard Quick Tasks and assigned to the user at System Administration > Employees.
Click the Configure button for more information.
