1. Creating a Task
Step 1: Navigate to the Tasks Section
-
- Log in to your Details system.
- Access All Tasks (Main Task Management Interface)
From the left-hand navigation menu, select "TASKS" to access the main task management interface. This will display all tasks across different sections. - If you want to manage tasks related to specific items, you can access them directly through the relevant sections. To do this:
- Click on the section name in the left-hand menu (e.g., "RELEASES" under "CATALOG").
- Once in the section, select an item from the list of available items.
- After selecting the item, you will see a sub-menu. Click on "Tasks" in this sub-menu to view, add, or manage tasks specific to that item.
- Log in to your Details system.
Step 2: Open the Task Creation Form
- In the task section, click on the "+ Add Task" button at the bottom of the task list.
- If you are within a specific category like "Booking," "Product," or "Release," make sure you are in the relevant tab before adding the task.
- This will open the "New Task" form.
Step 3: Enter Task Details
- Task Name: In the task creation form, enter the task name in the "Task Name" field (e.g., "Check if Hotel has a Gym").
- Timeframe Selection: If applicable, select the relevant months or periods for this task (as shown by the month checkboxes).
- End of Month: If this task is due at the end of the month, ensure the "End of Month" checkbox is selected.
- Day Shift: Enter or select the day shift if this applies to the task.
- Assigned User: Choose the user responsible for this task from the "Assigned User" dropdown menu.
- Sent User: If the task is being sent from another user, select the appropriate person from the "Sent User" dropdown menu.
- Extra Fields (Optional): If additional fields are needed, click "Add Extra Field," enter the field name and data type.
Step 4: Save the Task
- After entering all the required details, click "OK" to save the task.
- The task will now be visible in the task list under the selected category.
2. Assigning and Managing Tasks
Step 1: Assign a Task to a Team Member
- After creating a task, if you haven’t already assigned a user, locate the task in the task list.
- Click on the task to open the details.
- Use the "Assigned User" dropdown to select the team member responsible for the task.
Step 2: Update Task Status
- To update the status of a task, locate it in the task list.
- Click on the task name to open it.
- Find the "Status" dropdown and select the current status of the task (e.g., "Open," "Pending," "Completed").
Step 3: Monitor Task Progress
- Regularly check the tasks in your TASKS section.
- Review the Status and Due Date fields to ensure tasks are on track.
- If necessary, click on a task to edit details, reassign the task, or change the due date.
Step 4: Mark a Task as Completed
- Once a task is finished, open the task by clicking on its name.
- Change the status to "Completed" from the status dropdown.
- Optionally, add any final notes or comments in the task’s Notes field before saving.
Tips:
- Group Similar Tasks: If you have repetitive tasks, consider using Task Groups to organize them.
- Stay Organized: Regularly update task statuses and due dates to keep your workflow smooth and avoid bottlenecks.
- Use Filters: Use the filtering options in the task list to quickly find tasks by status, due date, or assigned user.
