Task Manager

Task Manager - Overview

This article provides an overview of the Task Manager Module.

Updated 6 days ago

The Task Manager Module was created to help the club organize, prioritize, and track tasks efficiently and easily. The Task Manager will help clubs organize committees, manage meeting agendas, and plan events. It allows users to assign tasks to specific committee members, set deadlines for event preparations, and track progress on action items discussed in meetings. This streamlined approach helps teams stay coordinated, ensures tasks are completed on time, and makes event planning more efficient by centralizing all tasks and updates in one place.

Understanding Roles and Permissions for Task Management Module

The tasks and information a member can access depend on the Member Role permissions granted by your club's administrator.

Administrator Role

Members with the Administrator role have full access to task management features. They can:

  • Add, edit, and delete tasks

  • Assign tasks to members

  • Change the status of tasks

Regular Members (non-Administrators)

Regular Members have limited access. They can:

  • View their assigned tasks

  • Change the status of tasks they are responsible for

For more information on changing member roles see the Member Roles and How to Grant Access Article.
