Review Tasks

Here's How to Review Tasks in Bionic for Agencies.

Once you've created your tasks, task lists are available from multiple places in Bionic to be able to review tasks. You can go directly to the desired Advertiser, Campaign, or Line Item and click the Tasks tab to see all the tasks at that, and all subordinate, levels.

Filter Tasks View

Regardless of what level you are accessing your Tasks List (Organizational, Advertiser, Campaign or Line Item level) you have a series of options to narrow or expand your view.

    You can use one or a combination of the filters provided in the Tasks Tab.

    Here is an explanation of each filter:

    1. Task Names - Filter your tasks to display only those tasks with a specific name (you can select more than one).  Use the text box to search for a name if your list of options is long.
    2. To Do Now - Limit your list based on the status of the Task, or expand the view to display all Tasks.
    3. Owners - Limit your view to look at Tasks assigned to specific users, or expand to see Tasks assigned to all users.
    4. Dates - Filter tasks based on a multiple date options.
    5. Levels - You can focus your search to Tasks related to items at a specific level.  This menu will vary based on which level you are viewing tasks at.  For example, you cannot look at Organization or Advertiser level tasks when you are at a Line level task view.
    6. Lines - When viewing your task list from the campaign level you can limit your task view to specific lines.  Use the text box to search for a name if your list of options is long.
