With our Quick Tasks feature, you can control and manage your day-to-day tasks. Whether they are individual tasks, group tasks, or subtasks, all can be filled with all the relevant task information - descriptions, images and files, due dates, and much much more. Once you have that setup, you can assign these tasks to the relevant employees, and even get notified once they have seen them and of course, completed them. Not only will you be able to create tasks with ease, but you will also be able to rest assured that at any point in time, you’ll have full transparency into seeing your team's execution.

In this article we will go over:

Activate Quick Tasks on your Account

Set-Up Your Permissions

As soon as you activate the Quick Tasks, all your users will be notified. Therefore it is crucial that your next step is setting the permissions of who can create a task in the mobile app.

To set up your permissions click on "Options" at the top right corner of the screen and click on "Settings".
