How to: Use the Advanced Task Management Template

1. Create a Task

Upon creation of a new task, some fields are automatically prefilled to save extra clicking. However, you can always tweak them according to your needs. Add whatever details you might need.

2. See Priorities, Due Dates, etc.

There are many preconfigured views to see tasks:

• to be finished this week,
• that are assigned to you,
• requesting your attention,
• waiting to be verified by you,
• that are past due…

All tasks that are past the due date are clearly marked in red.

3. Ask for Task Postponement

Do you have difficulties completing a task before it’s due? Communicate that pro-actively and ask for a postponement using a standardized workflow.

4. Regularly Review Team Tasks

On your team meetings, review tasks that are past due, due soon, or that have a postponement request. Use corresponding views that are prepared in this advanced task management template.

By default, only the task creator or verifier can change the due date.

5. Complete a Task

Upon task completion, upload a photo proof (or any other required documents), and set the task’s state.

6. Approve a Task

Finally, the author or verifier of the task verify its completion.
