Stay on track with Task Tracking and Notification Reminders in JD Edwards

In today's rapidly changing business environment, it is important to stay on top of critical tasks and deadlines for operational efficiency. A new feature will soon be available in JD Edwards Release 25: Task Tracking and Notification Reminders. These enhancements are designed to streamline task management, improve visibility and ensure important assignments are completed in a timely manner.

Enterprise workflows involve a constant flow of activities, from processing purchase orders to managing approvals and project tasks. To maintain smooth operations, companies must effectively track the status of these tasks.

The new Task Tracking feature in JD Edwards allows users to set due dates for tasks assigned via orchestration and notification messages. The feature allows recipients to record responses such as Approved, Denied, Complete or In Process, allowing companies to track progress and perform historical analysis.

For example, if a notification assigns an approval task to multiple recipients, each user can provide their response directly through an action link in the message. The system records timestamps for task assignments and completions, allowing organizations to analyze performance, identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows.

Managing multiple notifications can be overwhelming, especially when tasks require immediate attention. The Notification Reminders feature helps users stay organized by providing a visual indicator of due dates. Similar to email flags, these indicators distinguish between:

- Expired
- Expired today
- Not yet expired

This feature ensures that time-sensitive tasks are prioritized and completed on schedule. Users can also adjust due dates, remove reminders or group notifications for better task management. The Message Center allows notifications to be sorted and grouped by due date, making it easier to focus on what is most important.

With Release 25, JD Edwards also introduces the My Tasks feature, which clearly distinguishes between informational messages and task assignments. This enhancement allows users to filter and sort messages by due dates so that high-priority assignments are addressed first. For a detailed walkthrough of these features, watch the video below.
