How to Add and Manage Tasks

What Are Tasks?

Tasks can be assigned to jobs, and they are a great way to track specific duties being worked on at each job site.

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.

 

 

To turn on Tasks go to Company Settings > General and turn on Allow users to choose a task when clocking in.

Once Tasks are turned on, you can start adding them for you team to choose from.
