Tasks bar

The Tasks bar lists common tasks that are relevant to the data displayed in the content area. It is a dynamic list that changes as you navigate through the tabs and pages of Practice Manager.

Click on a task in the list to perform it. For example, click Clear Search to clear the current search and results from the content area.

The tasks displayed on the list are grouped under headings.

  • Click  Tasks_bar_show_list.png to expand the tasks under the heading.

  • Click  Tasks_bar_hide_list.png to hide the tasks.

There are three common buttons at the top of the Tasks bar:

To hide the Tasks bar

You can change the way the Tasks bar is displayed to allow more area for the content. There are two ways to do this:

  • To switch the display of the Tasks bar on and off, select View > Task bar on the main menu.

    or

  • To temporarily auto hide the Tasks bar, click Tasks_bar_autohide_on.png . The Tasks bar is hidden from display and replaced by a Tasks button in the top left corner of the content area, as shown below.

The options available on the Tasks bar depend on which MYOB applications you have installed.
