Tasks
Never lose track of follow-ups. Tasks let you assign work, set deadlines, and see what's done—at a glance.
Viewing Your Tasks
Navigate to Tasks in the main menu. Your task list shows everything assigned to you and your team, organized by status.
Status Groups
Tasks are automatically sorted into three groups:
- Due — Past the due date, needs immediate attention
- Upcoming — Scheduled for the future
- Completed — Finished tasks
The number badge on each group tells you how many tasks are in that state. Due tasks show their date in red so you can spot overdue work immediately.
Task List Details
Each task in the list displays:
- Checkbox — Click to mark complete
- Title — What needs to be done
- Type icon — Visual category indicator
- Assignee — Who's responsible
- Due date — When it's due (red if overdue)
- Report icon — Appears if a report was submitted
- Creator — Who created the task (shown in details)
Click any task to expand its details. The expanded view shows notes, attachments with download links, who completed the task and when, and a link to the associated customer. For quote-related tasks, the title links directly to the quote or order.
Filtering
Narrow down your list when you have many tasks:
- Date range — by created, closed, or due date
- Task type — show specific categories
- Assignee — filter by user or team
- Include completed — toggle to show or hide finished tasks
- Show public tasks — include tasks from public task types visible to your role
Exporting
Click the export button to download a CSV with all visible tasks. The export includes:
- Task status and title
- Assignee name
- Created, due, and closed dates
- Linked customer name and code
Use exports for reporting, handoffs, or importing into other tools.
Creating a Task
- Click the + button in the top right
- Fill in the task details:
- Title — Be specific. "Call customer" is vague; "Follow up on quote #1234" is actionable.
- Task Type — Pick the category that fits. Types can have linked forms for reporting.
- Due Date — When should this be done? The task moves to Due status if not completed by this date.
- Assign To — Choose a team member or an entire team. Team assignments appear for everyone on that team.
- Customer — Link to a customer or a specific branch to keep this task on their profile.
- Attachments — Optionally add files relevant to the task.
- Click Save
The task appears immediately in the Upcoming group (or Due if the date has passed).
Creating tasks from a customer profile is faster when you're already working with that customer.
- Open the customer or branch profile
- Go to the Tasks tab
- Click + to create a task
The task is automatically linked to that customer or branch—no need to search and select them.
This is ideal for:
- Follow-up calls after a meeting
- Quote reminders
- Scheduled check-ins
- Any customer-specific action item
Working with Tasks
Complete a task
Click the circle icon next to any task to mark it complete. The task moves to the Completed group and records the completion date.
Changed your mind? Click the checkmark again to reopen it. The task returns to Upcoming (or Due if past the due date).
Edit a task
Click the pencil icon to modify any field:
- Change the title if scope changed
- Update the due date to extend or shorten the deadline
- Reassign to a different person or team
- Add or remove attachments
Delete a task
Click the trash icon to remove a task permanently. You'll see a confirmation dialog—deleted tasks cannot be recovered.
Add a report
Some task types have linked forms for structured reporting. This is useful for documenting outcomes, collecting data, or standardizing how work is recorded.
- Open the task details by clicking on the task
- Click Add Report
- Fill in the form fields
- Click Submit
The report attaches to the task and is visible in the task details. Reports cannot be edited after submission—create a new one if needed.
Common uses for task reports:
- Visit summaries
- Call outcomes
- Issue resolutions
- Quality checks
Add notes
Click the notes icon to open the notes panel. Notes are internal—visible only to your team, not to customers.
Use notes to:
- Add context for the next person
- Record partial progress
- Explain why a task is blocked
- Leave handoff instructions
Notes are timestamped and show who wrote them.
Task Types
Task types let you categorize and organize tasks. Instead of generic "To Do" items, you can have specific types like "Follow-up Call", "Quote Reminder", or "Delivery Check".
Each type includes:
- Name — Displayed on tasks
- Icon & Color — Visual identifiers for quick recognition
- Linked Forms — Optional forms for structured reporting
- Public — Makes tasks visible to other users based on role settings
Why use task types?
- Filter faster — Show only the types you care about
- Reporting — See how many tasks of each type your team handles
- Consistency — Linked forms ensure everyone captures the same info
- Clarity — A "Site Visit" task is clearer than a generic task
Managing types
Navigate to Settings > Task Types to create and manage your task types.
To create a type:
- Click + to add a new type
- Enter a descriptive name
- Choose an icon from the picker
- Select a color for visual distinction
- Optionally link one or more forms for reporting
- Configure visibility settings (see Public Task Types below)
- Click Save
To edit or delete:
Use the action buttons next to each type in the list. Deleting a type doesn't delete tasks that used it—they just lose their type assignment.
Public Task Types
By default, tasks are only visible to the creator and the assigned user. Enable Public Task to make tasks of this type accessible to other team members.
When you mark a type as public, two additional settings appear:
- Can Execute — Roles that can view and complete these tasks
- Can Edit — Roles that can modify task details
Example scenarios:
- Team-wide visibility: Mark a "Customer Complaint" type as public with no role restrictions. Anyone on the team can see and resolve complaints.
- Manager oversight: Create a "Performance Review" type where only managers can edit, but all team leads can view.
- Department-specific: A "Billing Issue" type visible only to users with financial roles.
Tasks on Customer Profiles
Every customer profile has a Tasks tab. This shows all tasks linked to that customer (or any of their branches), regardless of who they're assigned to.
Why this matters
When you open a customer's profile, you see their complete task history:
- What's currently pending
- What was done recently
- Who's working on what
No more asking "Did anyone follow up with this customer?" — the answer is right there.
Working from the profile
From the Tasks tab, you can:
- View all tasks linked to this customer
- Create new tasks that auto-link to the customer
- Filter by status to see pending vs. completed
- Click through to task details
This is especially useful for:
- Sales teams — Track all follow-ups for a prospect
- Support teams — See pending issues for a customer
- Account managers — Review activity before a call
