Creating a Task
Within Pulse, you can use the Task feature to help you stay on top of important things you need to get done at your facility. You can also use the Tasks feature to assign different tasks to your staff members.
In order to access the main Tasks page, click on the People icon and then select Tasks under the Management section.
On this page you will see all of the tasks that have an open status, which means they are uncompleted. Below your open tasks you can see a list of all your completed tasks.
To create a new task, click on the New Task button.
When you create a new task, you will give it a brief description in the Task field. Then, you can provide more information in the Extra Details section.
In the Due field, you can click on the calendar icon to select a specific time and date that you want this task to be completed by.
On the right side of the Create Task screen, you have the ability to associate a contact with this task.
If you click on the ‘This is about a client’ field, you will get a dropdown list of all of your contacts to choose from.
You can also assign this task to one of your staff members, indicating that they are responsible for completing it.
The Status field is where you will indicate whether this task is currently Open or Completed.
When you are done creating this task, click on the blue Save Task button.
Task Shortcuts
From Your Dashboard
You can quickly create a task from anywhere in the Pulse system by clicking on the Quick Actions button at the top of any page. From the dropdown menu, you will click on New Task and go through the same process for creating a new task.
