Tasks: the basics

In Eskuad, tasks are a fundamental element that help streamline your workflow. Let's break down what tasks are and what they can do for you:

What is a Task?

• A task in Eskuad can be either a single form or a collection of forms with a specific location and due date assigned to it.

What Can Tasks Do?

• Tasks can be assigned to one or multiple team members, ensuring clear responsibilities and accountability.
• You can indicate specific clients who must fulfill the tasks
• Each task can have a due date, helping you prioritize and manage deadlines effectively.

Creating a Task: Step by Step

• Access Tasks: To create a new task, start by clicking on the "Tasks" button in the main menu navigation. 
• Creating Tasks: Within the "Tasks" section, click on "Create New." 

• Task Details: You're now ready to create your task. Here's what you can include:
   
  • Title: Give your task a clear and descriptive title.
  • Description: Add any necessary details or context.
  • Instructions: Specify each requirement that needs to be met.
  • Location: Specify the relevant location.
  • Due Date: Set a due date for the task.
  • Assignee: Choose the team member to whom the task will be assigned.
  • Preferences: Select a specific client to assign the task to, save the template for future assignments, or set the task so that all team members can self-assign the task from the app.

• Forms: Attach one or multiple forms to the task.
  
  • Required: Select a form and make it required. This will ensure that the task cannot be marked as complete unless the required form is completed.
  • Repeatable: You can enable a form to be completed multiple times in a single task.
  • Minimum and Maximum: Assign a minimum or maximum number of times that a form can be repeated in a task.

• Saving Tasks for Later: If you're not ready to assign a task immediately, that's perfectly fine! You can save the task for later. This saved task can also serve as a template that you can reuse for future assignments, requiring as little as a title and a form.
• Save and Assign: If you have already selected a team member to whom the task will be assigned, click "assign" to save and assign the task to the team member.

Managing Tasks

• Saved Tasks Tab: After saving your task, you can find it in the "Saved Tasks" tab. 

• Assigning Tasks: From the "Saved Tasks" tab, you can click "Assign" and choose the team member to whom you want to assign the task.
• Tracking Progress: Once a task is assigned, you can monitor its progress in the "Assigned Tasks" tab, and then click on "Details" to view the task process. 

• Viewing Completed Forms: When a task is complete, you can review the associated completed forms. Simply click on the task details, then the "Quick View" button to access the completed forms.

Tasks in Eskuad offer a structured and efficient way to manage forms, locations, and team assignments. They help you stay organized, meet deadlines, and ensure smooth collaboration within your team.
