When the Task radio button is selected as the Outlook Sync Type, the Task form will dynamically change to show the Task version of the task form.
The Task synchronization option should ONLY be used if the person entering the task is assigning it to him/herself. This option is intended to support a person creating his/her own to To Do or Task list in Outlook. This option will only update Outlook if the Responsible value entered is equal to the person actually creating this task. If it is anyone else, it will not synchronize with Outlook.
Once you save your task, a row containing the name of the person selected for the Responsible field on the task displays on the ‘Tasks Responsible’ form per standard Advance Web functionality. The task is synchronized with the Exchange server and added to your Outlook Tasks list. Again, this only occurs if the person adding the task is also assigned as the task responsible resource. If additional names are added to the Tasks Responsible form, the task will not be synchronized with Exchange for these other individuals.
To enter an Outlook Task:
During entry of a new task, click the Task radio button. The form re-displays with the appropriate Outlook Tasks fields; behavior of these fields is consistent with Outlook.
Enter the information for the Tasks list display and Save your changes. Once you save your task, a row containing your name displays on the 'Tasks Responsible' form and the task is synchronized with the Exchange server and added to your Outlook Tasks list. If additional names are added to the Tasks Responsible form, the task will not be synchronized with Exchange for that individual; tasks are only synced with Outlook for the 'owner' of the task.
