Work my tasks day to day
Find your open work, move tasks through your firm's statuses, tick checklists, and comment, all from the task board.
Who this is for: all firm staff. Creating one-off tasks and bulk actions are owner/manager territory; see Role variations.
Before you start
- You need to be signed in. You see and work with your own firm's tasks only.
Steps
- Open the Tasks page. By default the list shows open work only, up to a due-date horizon ahead of today. Anything past due always appears; completed tasks are hidden until you ask for them through the status filter.
- Use the tabs to switch between your firm's service categories. The Personnalisées tab gathers one-off tasks and your firm's own custom services.
- Click a task row to open it in a window over the list. You can keep working the list when you close it. The client's name inside the task links to the client's profile.
- Change the status from the task window or directly in the grid. You can move a task to any of your firm's statuses, in any order. Moving it to a completion status records the completion time; moving it back clears it. If your plan includes timesheets, completing a task offers to log your time first (you can skip).
- Work the checklist: tick a step when it is done. Each tick records who did it and when; unticking clears that.
- Comment on the task. Comments form a thread; adding one never overwrites what was written before. You can also type a comment directly in the grid's comment column, and give the task a highlight color (six fixed colors, visible to the whole firm).
- Set the assignee and priority (low, medium, high, critical) as the work demands.
- If the task is stuck on something outside your control, set the blocked condition with a reason. It is independent of the status and records since when the task has been blocked; clear it when the blocker is gone.
Role variations
- As an owner or manager: you can also create tasks with the New task button, two ways: a free-form one-off task, or a catch-up on a past period of a real service. The catch-up mode lists the elapsed periods (up to 5 years back) with their real, holiday-adjusted deadlines, and creating one never enrolls the client in automatic generation.
- As an owner or manager: with a plan that includes bulk actions, select several rows and change status, assignee, or priority at once, or delete one-off tasks.
- As an employee: you cannot create, edit, or delete one-off tasks.
What can go wrong
- If you try to edit or delete a generated (recurring) task: it is refused. Generated tasks are owned by the automatic generation; only one-off tasks can be edited or deleted.
- If a task looks overdue: overdue is computed, not a status. A task shows as overdue when its due date has passed and it is not in a completion status. Completing it clears the overdue state.
- If you do not see bulk actions or advanced grid filters: your firm's plan does not include them.
- If a first-time explainer appears: it distinguishes the Tasks board from the Suivi view. Dismissing it is remembered for you.
Limits
- Only owners and managers can create, edit, or delete one-off tasks.
- Past periods can be created up to 5 years back, and only by owners and managers.
- Status changes, priority, comments, and checklists are open to all staff. Assigning a task to someone else requires the assign right (owners and managers by default; without it you can still pick up an unassigned task or hand back your own). Which tasks you SEE at all can also be scoped by your firm's owner: all firm tasks (the default), your own plus unassigned, or your own only — the same scope applies on the board, Suivi, the calendar, the dashboard, and reports.
- Highlight colors come from a fixed palette of six (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
