Create Private Tasks

To access menu tasks quickly using the classic Desktop, you can organize them into groups of private task folders that only you can access on your workstation. You can also add external programs (for example, Word, Excel, or SAP Crystal Reports) to any private task folder you create.

For a similar feature using the standard Desktop, see Add Items to the Favorites Content Group.

Right-click the New Folder, and then select Rename.
Type a name for the new private task folder.
Right-click the folder, and select New > Task to add a menu task.
In the Browse window, select the menu task to add and click Open.
Right-click the folder, and select New > Program to add an external program.
