# My tasks

Last modified August 24, 2026

> You can access and handle all your pending tasks (for all companies for which you are an approver) from the My tasks window.


> **Important**:
>
> This functionality is only accessible for approvers.

If you have installed [Visma Mobile Manager](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/visma_mobile_manager/index.md) on your
phone, you can also access and approve or reject your tasks on
your phone. Please note that not all functions are available from within Visma Mobile Manager.

The **My tasks** window contains an overview of all tasks assigned to you with basic information such as the supplier or
requester, the description, the company, due date of the task and the amount. You can also see an icon if a task is
assigned to you because you are a substitute, and/or because it was forwarded to you, you are requested to review
it or it was reassigned from another approver by the system administrator. Click on a task to see more details.

## Payment bundle

If you have set up pre-approval of payments for invoices using Visma.net AutoPay, then when you click
**Approve and pay** on a task, the invoice will be bundled for payment and shown on top of the task list.
From here, you can either click **Pay** to open the two factor authentication window and pay the invoice(s) in the
bundle, or you can click **Cancel approval** to dissolve the bundle. Read more about pre-approval for [Visma.net AutoPay](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/getting_started/integrating_with_other_services/visma.net_autopay/index.md)

## Search options

- **Search**: Enter a text in the search field to show only tasks containing that text.
- **Date**: Select from the **Date** drop-down list which type of date you want to filter on.
- **All companies/Current company**: Select whether you want to show tasks for all companies you are an approver for,
or to only see the tasks for the company that is currently selected in the company selector.
- **Sort**: Click on any of the table headers to sort the tasks to sort the task list on that information.
Clicking on the header again will change between ascending and descending sorting.

## Options in My tasks

- **Open single task**: Click on a task to open it and see all details about the task.
- **Open multiple tasks**: Select several or all tasks and click **Open**. The first task in the list opens and you
can navigate through the tasks with the arrows on top. Click **Close** to return back to the task list.
- **Approve or reject a single task**: Click the **Approve** or **Reject** button in the task row.
- **Approve multiple tasks**: Select all tasks you want to approve and click **Approve selected**.
This way, you can approve a batch of tasks at the same time. If you select multiple tasks that have a monetary value
of the same currency, you can see the full amount of the documents in the Approve button.
Please note that it is not possible to reject tasks this way.
- **Postpone one or more tasks**: Postpone a task so you will not be reminded of it until a new task due date.
Select one or more tasks and click on the split button ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/my_tasks/image.png) and choose **Postpone**.
The dialog shows the **Document due date** and the current **Task due date** for context. Choose a **New task due date**
from the calendar and click **Postpone**. A comment is not required. Postponing only moves the task due date for your own
approval — it has no impact on the due date of the document, on the approval workflow, or on other approvers (in the same
step or in sequential steps). If you choose a new date after the document due date, a warning is shown but you can still
apply it; other approvers will immediately receive an overdue notification once their task is activated.
- **Forward a task**: Select a task and click on the split button ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/my_tasks/image-1.png) and choose **Forward** to hand
over the task to another person who will make the approve decision.
- **Review a task**: If you are asked to review a task, you can either click on the review icon in the task, or select
the task and click on the split button ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/my_tasks/image-2.png) and choose **Review**. You will be asked to enter a comment
before the review is completed.
- **Request review on a task**: Select a task and click on the split button ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/my_tasks/image-3.png) and choose
**Request review** to send the document to another person for review. Once the document is reviewed, it is returned to you.
- **Email a task**: Select a task and click on the split button ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/approval/online_help/actions_for_approvers/my_tasks/image-4.png) and choose **Email** to send the
task by email. If you choose to include the document, it will be sent as a zip-file. This will not reassign the
task; you are still responsible for making the approve decision.
