The iProject has a built-in feature that allows you to sort project folders into specific task groups. At the top level, a task falls under a category. This category is usually something general such as a field of study like Geology or Engineering. The task category is useful for grouping similar tasks together. The next level down is the task itself. This is usually something more specific and geared towards accomplishing a specific input/output life cycle of data. For instance, a typical task would be to "Build 3d Geomodel" and it would have an assortment of data directories that would hold input data and another set that holds output data. Below you can see an example of a set of tasks for a project, the categories they fall under, and the input/output data directories they would have.
To switch to the task view, select the Switch to Task view button at the top of the iProject Window. To switch back to the regular folder view, this icon will change into the Switch to Folder view button when you are in the task view. Browsing through the task view works the same way as browsing through the regular directory tree, and you can do all of the things you can do in the folder view (cut/copy/paste, upload/download files, etc.) While in the task view, folders that are not assigned to an input or output data directory in the task view are hidden from your view. In order to view a task, you must be assigned that task by the project administrator.
