After reviewing your Tasks General Settings, you can create and assign tasks to your staff. Note: Staff must be added to your Golf Shop Account to be assigned tasks and receive notifications. For details on adding staff to your Golf Shop Account, Click Here.
In this article, we will discuss how to create a task on the web browser.
Quick Task Entry
To create a task with basic information (i.e., task name, due date, and assignee), follow these directions:
Go to Staff > Tasks > Dashboard.
Assign the Name of the task (as shown below). Keep it short and simple.
Click the Due date (as shown below) to select a date other than the default date. You will have several options when selecting a due date:
Today: Sets the due date as the current day and allows you to pick a time.
Tomorrow: Sets the due date as the next day and enables you to pick a time.
Next Week: Sets the due date on the first day of the week and lets you pick a time.
Pick a Date: Select a specific date and time.
If selecting a due date and time, click "Save."
Click "Assign To" to select who you are assigning the task. In the drop-down, select a group of staff and specific individuals to be assigned to the task (as shown below). Note: You do not need to assign staff, as staff can be assigned or select the task later.
If selecting staff, click "Save."
Optionally, click "More Options." These additional options will be discussed in the next section.
If you want the task marked as important, click the "Star" so it is highlighted in black.
Click "Add," and the task will be added to the dashboard.
Task Entry with "More Options"
To create a task with more detailed information (i.e., recurring task, due date, and assignee) in addition to the basic requirements, follow these directions:

Important: If you want the task marked as important, click the "Star" to highlight it in black. Note: Tasks marked as important will be listed at the top of the Task Dashboard.
After adding all of the necessary items to the Task, select one of the following options:
Save Task: The task will be added to the Task Dashboard, and any applicable notifications will be sent to staff and members/guests.

Automated Notification
After entering the task and assigning a staff member or group of staff, the staff will then receive an email notification (if enabled) and text message notification (if enabled) about the task.
