5 Checking for device tasks

The MyID Client for Mac allows you to carry out a variety of device tasks. Unlike Actions, where you instigate the procedure yourself, Tasks are made available for you by operators; for example, an operator may request a device for you, and a Task appears in your list informing you that you can collect it. Some tasks may be automatic; for example, if your certificates are nearing their expiry date, the MyID system may generate a certificate renewal task for you.

Click the Tasks option, and the list of available tasks appears. The list of tasks is refreshed periodically; click the refresh icon to check the MyID server immediately for any available tasks.

If there are available tasks, a badge appears on the Tasks link showing the number of tasks.

You can use the Search box to search for a particular task.
