Task Report

Tasks are the things that need to be accomplished on work orders. For service work, these tasks describe the specific requests from your customer. On new sales work, tasks are tied to specific parts that need to be installed. Regardless of where the task originated, the Project Task Report lists those tasks and provides the following details:

• – indicates that the task was added directly onto a project or work order and did not come from a sales order
• Task – the thing that needs to be completed. Sales Order tasks are usually the name of the item being installed. Service tasks are generally a description of the work to be completed.
• ETC – Estimated Time to Complete as defined on each item. These times can be modified by a project manager as well.
• ATC – Actual Time to Complete is a manually entered value on the task itself, usually by a technician
  • If the ETC or ATC is printed in red, that means that it took more time to complete the task than was estimated.
• Priority – tasks can be prioritized using the list created at Settings > Pop Up Lists > Task Status
• Assignee – tasks can be assigned to specific technicians. If no tech has been assigned to a task, it will display Anyone.
• Status – the status of the tasks as set by the technician. Statuses are customizable by a system administrator in Settings > Pop Up Lists > Task Status.
• Desc – this is where notes to the technicians will be displayed. Notes can be entered by sales staff on proposals and sales orders or project managers on projects.
• Pictures – if a technician captures a picture for the task, it can be displayed here
• Notes – any task notes will be shown here, including the name of the user who added the note as well as a date and time stamp
