# Working with User Tasks

This article includes information and steps to view and complete user tasks (object records). For information about setting up and assigning user tasks in Vault, see <a href="/en/gr/40757/">User Task Administration</a>
. For information about workflow tasks, see <a href="/en/gr/972/">Accepting & Completing Workflow Tasks</a>
.

Depending on your application and your Vault's configuration, user task objects may have a different name.

A user task is an object record with the _User Task_ object class applied. A user task represents an individual unit of work. For example, a Clinical Research Associate at VeePharm may create user tasks to represent the work involved with bringing a site up to compliance after a site visit.

Note that a user task record is a record for any object with the _User Task_ class applied. Your Vault may have multiple user task objects, for example, _User Tasks_ and _Follow-Up Tasks_.

## Viewing User Tasks

You can view user tasks that are assigned to you from **Home > My Tasks**. If you have access to **Business Admin > Objects**, or a custom object tab that includes the relevant user task-class object, you can see a list of all user task records you have permission to see.

## Completing User Tasks

To complete a user task:

  1. Navigate to the user task record, either through **Home > My Tasks**, a custom tab, a related object's **Details** page, or **Business Admin > Objects**.
  2. Verify that you completed the task.
  3. Click **Complete**.

If you have the **Edit** permission and the ability to see a _User Task_ object record's **Details** page, you can complete a task by selecting the **Yes** option on the _Complete_ field.

Once the user task is complete, Vault populates the _Completion Date_ field with the current date and changes the user task record's _State_ from _Open_ to _Complete_.
