While using Sitecore workflows, an item goes through the approval process and the contributors and authors can approve the item in that process. Sometimes a contributor/author has multiple items to approve. Although they get an email notification when they have an approval request in their bucket, we want to make it easier for an author to get a snapshot view of all the approval requests that s/he has in her/his task list. In this way s/he will be able to approve all her/his tasks in one go.
We understand that Sitecore provides the Workbox where users can view a snapshot of the items and their workflow states. But since these can only be filtered by the workflow and not by the user in question, it can get a little overwhelming for the content authors. Please let us know if Sitecore provides any such mechanism for an author to view a list of his/her pending tasks ONLY and take actions on them. If Sitecore does not provide such a functionality OOB, please let us know how to implement this.
