Tasks
Record of tasks assigned by all participants in the construction process. Tasks can be created directly on the construction site via a mobile application or from the web interface (ERP).
Task overview
It allows entering new tasks, displays incoming tasks from the mobile application and provides space for task management. Tasks are divided among individual users - solvers. You can have an immediate overview of who is solving individual tasks on the selected project. Individual task records are supplemented by a chat in which all the comments of the involved participants are displayed. Image documentation is also part of the task record.
The task record is divided into several tabs, according to the properties of the information on the cards.
The first information about the tasks is available on the application board. The fastest way to get to the details of the task is to click on the task. Employees see their tasks, or The tasks they are assigned to. In the mobile application, it is possible to display all tasks or to turn on the filter and display only "My tasks".
We have divided the origin of the tasks by color:
Task statuses and solutions in the system:
- New
- It is in process
- Solved
Assignment of tasks is expected mainly from the construction environment and employees enter them from the mobile application. Such a record is synchronized to the ERP application with the setting "New". If the user on the construction site in the application sets the task to be "Complete", then it is displayed in the ERP system in the status "Progressed".
Perform further editing of recorded records in the ERP system in the browser.
All changes, corrections and additions are registered on the LOG changes tab. The application administrator has access to this information. It is also possible to correct incorrectly entered data from the application, for example, if the employee does not describe the task sufficiently or assigns it to the wrong project.
Attention: If the project is not established, you cannot assign tasks to employees, because they will not see them.
