If more than one subject object is associated, then the task icon, work task description (including a count of the number of subject objects), and then workflow parent code and name appears. A link to the Work Exchange navigator also appears.
The References card is configurable and can display links internal or external to ALIM Web.
Administrators can use the Announcements card to create real-time announcements for users.
