The My Tasks table shows all Tasks included by the selected Filters. On the bottom left, the table indicates the number of records found and last time refreshed. On the bottom right, you can select the page to display. The table will also respond to your scroll wheel or touchpad, allowing you to scroll through the list of Tasks page by page.

Like the Taskboard, the My Tasks table is sortable by column. In this configuration, you can choose from Name, Business Services, Summary, and Last Run. The default sort order is by Name. You can customize which columns to display by clicking the rightmost icon in the top row of the table:
