You can organise your tasks into a structured list using the Tasks feature to make your workload more manageable. It allows you to view your completed and outstanding tasks and provides you with a sense of accomplishment when you finish them.
To make things easier for you, we have also introduced the To Do List on your dashboard. It provides a quick view of all automated tasks that you need to action. Depending on your role, you need to acknowledge, approve, review, or complete them. To learn more about this, please go to the What tasks will I see in my To-Do List widget on my dashboard? in the Further information section of this article.
Important
Only clients on our HR classic Premium and Platinum subscriptions can add, edit, and delete a comment for a task.
Warning
Timesheet tasks when actioned from the to-do list will be cleared immediately. If you action timesheet tasks from other sources, such as Swag, there will be a delay between when the task was completed and when it will be cleared from your to-do list.
Definitions of the types of tasks
My Tasks | My Tasks will show all tasks that have been assigned to you. |
