# Tasks view

As you work with resources in the Workbench, various builders may automatically log problems, errors, or warnings in the Tasks view. For example, when you save a Java source file that contains syntax errors, those will be logged in the Tasks view. When you double-click the icon for a problem, error, or warning, the editor for the associated resource automatically opens to the relevant line of code.

You can also add items to the Tasks view manually. For example, if you would like to record reminders to follow up on something later, add it to the tasks view. When you add a task manually, you have the option of associating it with a resource so that you can use the Tasks view to quickly open that resource for editing.

The first column of the Tasks view displays an icon that denotes the type of line item. You can sort and filter line items in the task view, to view only high-priority tasks or only warnings and errors associated with a particular resource or group of resources.

By default, the Tasks view is included in the Resource perspective. To add it to the current perspective, click Window > Show View > Tasks.
