===== Viewing Task Details =====

Viewing a task's details is easy, if the Project Manager has assigned you the right permissions. Simply click a task in the task list, or enter the task id into the Show Task box and press enter. You will be taken to a screen similar to the one below.

Sufficient permissions are in place if you

  * opened the task anonymously and access the task with the //task token// included in the URL, or
  * you are the creator of the task (not anonymous), or
  * you are assigned to the task, or
  * you have the global or at least project level //view_tasks// permission and the task is not private, or
  * you are the project manager.

Also, you must be able to view a project to be able to view its task. **Being able to view a project and being able to see tasks of a project is a difference** :!:

==== Overview ====


Note that this is the default layout. Other [[themes]] may present the details page looking a little different. The coloured bar shows the task id and summary. The colour varies according to the severity of the task. In the default theme, higher severities are shown with darker colours.

Under the summary bar is a few small details about the project the task belongs to, who created the task, and who last edited it. The "Last edited by" refers only to whomever last made changes to the fields in the task details area. It does not update when comments are made or attachments are added.

Next down is the tabular data on the task. The fields may vary from 1.0.0 on, since the admin / project manager can add and remove fields.
