Managing created tasks - HR Web Platform

Updated

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 Tasks I Created feature allows you to view all the tasks you have created, who you assigned this work to, and reassign those tasks if the person undertaking this assignment changes. You can also edit this information if it changes and delete the task if it is no longer required.

Availability

HR Plan:   Free   Standard   Premium   Platinum
  User Access:   Employee         Manager         Admin      

  This is the default access level per user and whether they have  view,  edit and  delete access, excluding any changes made via our Custom Security feature.

Getting started

These steps show you how to create a task, add any required comments, re-assign it to another user and also how to mark as complete a subtask or the whole task itself.

Create a task
  1. Click the   Tasks menu.
  2. Click the Tasks I Created tab.
  3. Click the Create Task button.

  4. 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.

    Important

    The HR platform uses the assigned date to determine when to notify the task owner about their upcoming tasks.

    • Due date.
    • Collaborators

    Important

    You can only add a collaborator if you are on our premium or platinum pricing plan.

  5. Click the   Subtask button and list any additional subtasks.
