Changes to filtering the Task Status Board

The task status board has been amended to improve the filtering and presentation of tasks to agencies that have a substantial number of tasks.

Now whilst you may not think that the 100 or so tasks that the majority of health agencies have received during the pandemic are to unmanageable for a variety of reasons - not least the Ministry NHCC being the hub of 21 DHBs we currently have 27 pages of in progress or closed tasks.

We've used a bit of code to create a drop down list which runs a series of filters. These filters present only tasks that are due in either 24, 48 or 120 hours (5 days). It also excludes all completed tasks (removing 26 pages of closed tasks and therefore speeding up page load) and just for completeness also shows tasks that have expired or were due in the preceding 48 hours. The remain filters for 'All' and 'All Open Tasks' allows both open and closed tasks outside those timeframes to be viewed.

The "My Tasks' filter button continues to work in conjunction with the drop down filters to show those tasks that your user position has either created or been assigned.

The Search functionality remains the same and allows you to search in effect a hidden field which is populated from the values within the subject, details, requester and name fields. Unfortunately you cannot search on both fields and the unique Task ID number but have raised raised an enhancement request with ESI to allow multiple search fields (it is currently one or the other).
