Using tasks with staff

Using tasks with staff

Tasks are a way of keeping track of any actions that staff members need perform. Assigning a task to a staff member creates a record of it on their profile or on the Tasks screen, where you can insert a description of the task, as well as the date and time it is due to be completed. 

Tasks are split into Public and Private tasks. Public tasks can be seen by anyone and must be connected with at least one entity (such as a staff member or child). If you are adding a task through the staff profile, it will always be Public. Private tasks can only be seen by, and assigned to, the user who created it. 
​

  1. Click on  Staff in the sidebar.
  2. Click on a staff member's name to bring up their profile.
  3. Go to the Tasks tab.
