Tasks will appear on the dashboard as a Manager Action Item on their due date (see also; "Dashboard Overview"). You get to the Task Manager by going to Dashboard > Task Manager, by clicking the uncompleted tasks on the Dashboard or by using the Task Manager button on the Task Report.
One Time Tasks
Create New Task: You can create a task for today or in the future. You enter a task Name, a Description of the task and a Due Date. This is only used for one time tasks, all recurring tasks will be done under Recurring Tasks/New Recurring Task.
Due Tasks: Shows all tasks due; today or in the past.
Upcoming Tasks: Shows all tasks that have been created but are not yet due.
Recurring Tasks
Recurring Tasks can be used as a reminder for weekly or monthly tasks. Once they are created they will appear in your Due Task list when they are due; it will appear in Upcoming tasks until then.
New Recurring Task: When creating a New Recurring Task you will choose:
- Name - a title for the task.
- Description - more detailed directions on what the task is (255 character limit).
- Next Recurring Date - this date should be the day in the future, the day you want this task to begin; if a task is created on and due today it will not create its first task until it's next due date.
- Recurring - how often you want the task to happen, weekly or monthly;
- Weekly - the task will repeat the week day you choose i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
- Monthly - the task will repeat on the day of the month you choose i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.
