Task Actions

From the task view, clicking on the Task will take you to the report the task was created from, so you can see affected URLs and fix the issues. Any filters you applied when the task was created will be in place, so you will see the exact same report. 

As you fix issues from the report and new crawls complete, the number and percentage of unresolved issues will reduce. 

At the end of the task view, you’ll see three dots in the ‘Actions’ column. Clicking here will allow you to:

• Mark as resolved. Once all issues have been addressed, you can resolve the task which will remove it from the list.
• Edit task, to amend any of the details, including the severity, deadline, etc. 
• Remove, to delete the task.

As mentioned, once you have resolved a task it will disappear from the list. However, there is a toggle on the table which will allow you to show resolved tasks, and mark as unresolved if required. If you have designed a task to track a specific issue, it may be worth leaving it open so you can quickly see any recurrences that may arise.

Examples of How to Use Task Manager

To help you get started with Task Manager, we’ve included a few common ways our customers use it to track specific issues.

Track Soft 404s 

Use All Pages report to filter by a common element of the page title which appears on a 404 template and a 200 status code.

Track broken links for specific sections

Use the All Broken Links report fo filter by broken links to your subfolder.

Track Broken or Noindex Pages with High Impressions and Clicks

Use the reports to identify pages that go over a specific GSC threshold of your choice that may need investigation more urgently (e.g Redirects or robots meta changes). You can choose to split them out into separate tasks or make one task to track both. You could also choose to add more filtering if you want this task just to tack specific segments or subfolders.
