Tasks correspond to specific steps in regulatory response processes such as impact assessment, policy review, control updates, and evidence collection. They can be created manually or automatically based on workflow settings tied to regulatory alerts or change requests. This facilitates individual and team accountability, supports timely task completion, and helps meet internal and external regulatory obligations.

## Key Features

* Task responsibilities are segmented across individuals and groups to clarify accountability.
* Filtering and sorting allow users to view personal tasks or items they monitor efficiently.
* Direct task management within the interface supports updating statuses, adding comments, and completing tasks.
* Seamless integration with regulatory alerts, change requests, and compliance activities ensures comprehensive workflow management.
* The page is divided into four tabs to enhance task visibility and management:

### Tabs Description

* **My pending tasks:** Shows all active tasks assigned directly to the user, emphasizing individual accountability. Users can view task details, due dates, and update or complete tasks directly.
* **My group's tasks:** Displays tasks assigned to groups the user belongs to, supporting collaboration, shared responsibility, and managerial oversight of group workflows.
* **My items:** Lists tasks or items created or owned by the user, regardless of assignment, ensuring ownership continuity and full visibility into user-initiated regulatory activities.
* **Watchlist:** Contains tasks manually selected by the user to monitor, ideal for passive oversight of key compliance activities, supporting supervisors and coordinators in staying informed.

## Key Outcomes

By utilizing the Tasks page, ServiceNow customers can efficiently manage compliance duties, foster accountability at both individual and team levels, and proactively meet regulatory requirements within defined timelines. This task-centric approach supports regulatory readiness and improves collaboration among compliance officers, analysts, and business stakeholders.  
The Tasks page within the Compliance Workspace provides a centralized, task-centric interface for managing all activities related to regulatory events, source documents, and compliance workflows. It helps you stay organized, ensures timely
and accountable action, and promotes overall regulatory readiness.

Each task relates to a step in the regulatory response process, such as impact assessment, policy review, control updates, or evidence collection. Tasks can be created both manually and automatically. Automatic task creation
depends on workflow settings linked to regulatory alerts or change requests.

This interface supports individual and team-level accountability, promotes timely completion of tasks, and enables compliance with internal and external regulatory obligations. You can filter, sort, and act on tasks directly
within this interface, making it an essential tool for compliance officers, analysts, and business stakeholders.

The key features of the Tasks page are as follows:  
* Segment task responsibilities across individual and group levels.
* Filter tasks and view personal contributions or monitored items.
* Manage compliance through a task-centric interface.
* Integrate seamlessly with alerts, change requests, and compliance activities.

The page includes four distinct tabs, each serving a specific purpose to enhance task visibility and management.

## My pending tasks {#tasks-page__section_fw2_ykh_bgc}

The pending tasks view:

* Provides access to task details, due dates, and related items.
* Enables you to update status, add comments, or complete tasks directly.
{#tasks-page__ul_phs_clh_bgc}

## My group's tasks {#tasks-page__section_dq2_zkh_bgc}

Shows tasks assigned to groups or teams that the user belongs to, even if the user isn't the direct assignee. This data is useful for teams with shared responsibilities or collaborative workflows.  
The group's tasks view:

* Promotes visibility across shared or collective responsibilities.
* Supports collaboration and effective task delegation among team members.
* Assists managers and leads to monitor and coordinate group tasks.
{#tasks-page__ul_inl_tlh_bgc}

* Monitors progress and outcomes for user-initiated items.
{#tasks-page__ul_m3s_vlh_bgc}

## Watchlist {#tasks-page__section_v22_1lh_bgc}

The watchlist view:

* Allows tracking of high-priority or cross-functional tasks without direct ownership.
* Supports monitoring of relevant tasks across multiple workstreams.
* Keeps supervisors, coordinators, and compliance officers informed of relevant updates.
