730 Chapter 24 Track Tasks
To remove the flag from an item:
● Display the Tasks module, click the flagged item to select it, and then click the
Remove From List button in the Manage Tasks group on the Home tab.
● Click the flagged item in the To-Do Bar Task List and then click the Remove From
List button in the Manage Tasks group on the Task List contextual tab.
● Right-click the flagged item, click Follow-up, and then click Clear Flag.
Deleting a task or flagged item moves the task or the original item to the Deleted Items
folder; it is permanently deleted when you empty that folder. No record of it remains on
your task list or in its original location (such as your Inbox).
To delete a task or flagged item:
● In the Tasks module, click the task to make it active and then on the Home tab, in
the Delete group, click the Delete button.
● In any view, right-click the task, and then click Delete.Managing Task Assignments.
You can assign tasks from your Outlook task list to other people within your organization
and outside of your organization (and other people can assign tasks to you). Outlook
indicates assigned tasks in your task list by adding blue arrow pointing to a person on
the task icon, similar to that of a shared folder in Windows Explorer.Tasks You Assign to Others
You can assign tasks to people on your Microsoft Exchange Server network, to people
on other Exchange Server networks, and to people running e-mail programs other than
Outlook.
● When you assign a task to a person on your Exchange Server network, Outlook
sends a task request, similar to a meeting request, to the person you designated.
The assignee can accept or decline the task assignment by clicking the corres-
ponding button in the Reading Pane or in the task window header. Outlook
indicates the status of the task in your task list as Assigned.
● When you assign a task to a person who is on another Exchange Server network or
is using an e-mail program other than Outlook, Outlook sends a message that the
assignee can respond to manually. Until you change the task status, it is Waiting
For Response From Recipient, rather than Assigned.
