# Manage tasks effectively in your workflow automation

The **Tasks** tab is a sortable list of all tasks that you have added to your process definition.

It will allow you to sort all of your tasks by _ID, Name, Type, Created_ (date) or _Modified_ (date):![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1367/task_list.gif)![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1367/tasks.1298x0-is.png)

You can not add new tasks through the Task List grid but you can:

* **Edit Task** Detail information such as the task name and description.

* **Configure the task** specific options for a given task type such as associating a form to a Form task, add options for an Approval task, etc.

* Define the task **Recipients**

* Edit the task email **Notification**

* Add/Edit/Delete **Rules**

If you select one of the above options (similar to working with a task’s attributes in the Process Flow tab), you will be presented it a small dialog:![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1367/edit_task_detail.524x0-is.png)

In the above example the basic Task Detail information can be edited by selecting the pencil edit icon on the row of the task in the grid.

**Note**: If you add/update/remove any of the **Start Rule** options for a task, these will be automatically reflect in the **Process Flow** the next time you view it.
