The Task pane in K2.net Studio, can be used to house 'custom' webpages etc. You can therefore build an external website used for tracking tasks within your projects, and load this into the pane.

Furthermore, some of the Asia Pacific team are currently building a frontend UI for the SQL User Manager component, such that you can add/edit/delete users and groups directly from the UI in the Task Pane.

In order to make use of the task pane, simply add the following tags to your K2Studio.config file:

<TaskPanes>
<TaskPane Title="Test" Url="www.k2workflow.com" />
<TaskPane Title="Test2" Url="www.k2workflow.com" />
</TaskPanes>

Each <TaskPane> tag adds a new item to the list. Please note that the 'Url' property is case sensitive at this stage (so 'URL' will not work).
