Notes and Tasks

The Notes and Tasks functionality allows for the complete digitisation of your business’s workflow. The Tasks Module provides an overview and management of all pending Notes and Tasks for all Users.

Notes and Tasks can be associated with specific records such as Customers, Customer Orders, Enquiries, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Quotes, or Suppliers.

Note:

The Current User Tasks section on the Dashboard only displays the Notes and Tasks assigned to you.

The Tasks Module displays all Notes and Tasks except those that have been marked as complete. Completed tasks can be viewed in the Notes and Tasks section of the associated record or by using Advanced Search.

	Navigate to the Tasks Module.
	Use Quick and Advanced Search to help find a Note or Task or use a saved Filter.
	By default, Notes and Tasks are ordered by the Required By date in ascending order. Clicking on a column heading sorts by the column criteria. Clicking again reverses the order.
	The Status and Assigned To columns help keep track of each Note and Task at a glance.
	Click Add New to create a new Note or Task for yourself or another User.
