Task Actions
From the task view, click into the task you want to view to open the task details view. From here you can perform the following actions:
- Click on the Unresolved URL Count to go to the report the task was created from. Any filters you applied when the task was created will be in place, so you will see the same report with any URLs that still need addressing. If no new crawls have run since the task was created, this will be the original set of URLs.
- Generate Delivery Ticket. This will use Lumar’s AI bot to generate a first draft of delivery ticket content in seconds. You can then copy and paste this into your ticketing system and edit as required.
- Archive Task. This will move it from the main task view into the archived section, so you can still view the task details.
- Edit Task. Here you can amend any of the details set when the task was created, including the title, description, requirements/how to fix, priority, deadline, and assignee(s).
- Delete Task. To delete the task if it’s no longer required.
As mentioned above, when you click on the Unresolved URL/Issue Count box, you'll be taken to a specific view of the report for that task. This view will have the task title as the report title, and you'll see the task description, severity and status in a purple box at the top of the report. This helps you differentiate the task report view from other reports in Lumar.
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.
Report: | All Pages |
Filters: |
Page Title CONTAINS ‘Not Found’ HTTP Status Code EQUALS 200 |
Track broken links for specific sections
Use the All Broken Links report fo filter by broken links to your subfolder.
Report: | Internal Broken Links |
Filters: | Target URL CONTAINS <subfolder> e.g /blog/ |
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.
