Tasks

Liferay DXP 2026.Q4+

Tasks are the actionable work items required to execute a project. The Content Marketing Platform (CMP) provides a flexible task framework for creating, tracking, and updating deliverables based on your current workspace context. Centralizing these activities helps your team maintain visibility and accountability throughout the campaign lifecycle.

Important

An administrator must license and activate CMP for your Liferay DXP instance. See Activating CMP.

The task details view provides a consistent environment for collaboration and asset management:

• Description: Detailed instructions or objectives for the specific work item.

• Assets: A dedicated repository for content and files linked to the task.

• Info Sidebar: Quick access to change the state and assignee.

• Activity: Use comments for contextual team discussion and see history to audit all modifications, including timestamps and contributors.

Navigating Global Tasks

From your Liferay CMS space, click Tasks under Planning to open Global Tasks. The page has three tabs:

1. All Tasks: Project tasks and workflow tasks together in a single list.

2. Project Tasks: Only the work items your team creates.

3. Workflow Tasks: Only CMS content awaiting review.

Use Project Tasks for your team’s own work, Workflow Tasks when you have content to approve, and All Tasks when you want one list of everything.

A project’s own Tasks tab lists only that project’s tasks and has no tab bar. See Projects for that surface.

Project tasks and workflow tasks differ in more than origin. You create a project task and set its State yourself, choosing Not Started, In Progress, Blocked, or Done. A workflow task appears when someone submits CMS content for review, and its Status comes from the review process as Pending or Completed.
