View > To Do List displays objects in the workspace that have inconsistent data. The To Do List allows you to edit these objects from a single location. To correct errors, select objects from the list and modify them using the appropriate commands on the Edit ribbon. Check your selection filter setting if you are having trouble selecting a To Do List entry. The To Do List displays objects in gray that you cannot update.
You can change the sort order of items in the To Do List by clicking column headings. The default sorting is alphabetical with Error objects listed and then the Out-of-date objects.
Properties
Opens the To Do List Properties Dialog, which allows you to choose the objects that appear in the To Do List, as well as choosing display options.
Update
Updates the selected out-of-date objects. This option is disabled if:
-
The object has a non-working approval status. Working status is set on the Configuration Tab of the object's properties.
-
The object belongs to another global workshare site.
-
You do not have sufficient permissions to edit the object.
Filter To Do List by Select Set
Shows only those To Do List entries that are related to the selected objects in the graphical views or Workspace Explorer. When the To Do List contains hundreds or thousands of records, this option can be useful for filtering the To Do List.
If no objects exist in the select set when this option is checked, the To Do List appears empty. This option works in conjunction with the other check boxes under List on the To Do List Properties Dialog. For example, if the Only objects which the user has permission to resolve box is checked, then nothing shows in the To Do List if you select an out-of-date object that you do not have permission to resolve.
Clear Filter
Removes the select set filter from the To Do List and displays all records for the workspace.
