Abstract: In a desktop for workflow management, a global task list of tasks to be performed is generated. The global task list includes a sequence of plural individual task lists ordered according to a configurable task list order. Each individual task list contains one or more tasks ordered according to respective individual task list sort criteria, and each individual task list is updated automatically through a notification mechanism. For each individual task list in the global task list, respective tasks that form part of the individual task list are listed in the global task list in order of appearance in the individual task list.
