### Learn How to:

- Properly implement tasks for all or some users.
- Make it easier to keep track of employees daily work.
- Import tasks manually or in-bulk.

### What Are Tasks?

Tasks are a subset of jobs that can help define and clarify the work users are completing that day.

Our customers use tasks for:

- Equipment tracking ( Job: *Smiths's Place* / Task: *Trailer A )*
- Ticket tracking ( Job: *Smith's Inspection* / Task: *Ticket # 1234* )
- Patient tasks ( Job: *Helping Hands Facility* / Task: *Dinner Prep )*
- Construction *(* Job: *Smith's Place /* Task: *Tile Install )*
- Work order tracking, claims tracking, and so much more

### How do employees clock into them?

When a user clocks in, they will be presented with a list of jobs to choose from. 

After choosing a job, a task list will appear for the user to choose.

Only users with the Admin or Manager role can add tasks.

 

To enable tasks in your account, go to **Company Settings** \> **General** and enable the option to **Allow users to choose a task when clocking in.**

### FAQs
