If you're unfamiliar with tasks, you can find out what tasks are in this article.

For more information on events, check out what are events in Payaca.

Tasks help to keep track of work that needs to be done to complete a job. They can be assigned to users, and linked to forms or checklists so that team members in the field know what needs to be done.

Tasks can also be accessed while working offline.

Data created while offline (for example a job form completed) will be synced whenever you complete any action in the app whilst online.

Creating a task

To create your first task, open a project and select “Create Task

A pop-up will appear on the screen.

Choose a name for your task, and assign it to the appropriate team member.

Select a due date and add notes where applicable.

Below this, you will also see the option to add a checklist or a form to be completed to fulfil the task.

Select an industry standard form to be completed on site, for example a boiler service record, or general job report.
