Overview
Organising your tasks into a structured list can make your workload a lot more manageable. It allows you to view a list of your completed and uncompleted tasks and provides you with a sense of accomplishment when you mark an item as completed.
The My Tasks feature allows you to create your own task list, add any required subtasks, and mark these activities off as you complete them. This feature is also where you can view tasks assigned to you by your peers and/or your manager. The details of who gave you this assignment, and the work required for you to undertake will all be visible to you.

Getting started
The below steps show you how to create a task, add any required comments, and also how to mark as complete a subtask or the whole task itself.
- Click the Tasks menu.
- Click the My Tasks tab.
- Click the Create Task button.
- Complete the following fields:
- Name.
- Owner.
Important
The task owner is the user required to complete the task. By selecting a user; who is not yourself means that you are assigning the task to another user. However, the platform will still list you as the person who created the task.
Warning
If you have selected a team as the owner of a task, the platform will assign each member of the team their own individual task. The platform does not allow you to set a task as a collaborative endeavour or owned by a team.
- Description.
- Assigned date.
- Due date.
- Collaborators.
Important
You can only add a collaborator if you are on our premium or platinum pricing plan.
- Click the Subtask button and list any additional subtasks.
- Click the Create button.
Warning
The creator of a task can re-assign the existing task to another employee. While an Admin or Owner can re-assign the task regardless of if they were the creator of the task or not.
Maintain
The below premise will show you how to edit the details of a task, how to reassign them to another user, and how to delete an entry you no longer need.
Important
You can not change the owner, assigned date, or due date of a task that another user assigned to you. You can also only edit a pending task. The platform does not allow you to edit a completed task.
