Today we're launching our latest benefit into beta, 'Task Management' built especially for response teams. Our task management tools are live on all team accounts, and are designed to enable you to create tasks for yourself, or other members of your team and track their progress. The video above gives you a quick overview.

When you assign a task, we'll drop that member a notification email to let them know. We'll also include it in their weekly briefing, and allow them to mark it as 'In-Progress' when they start it. If you create a task for yourself, you have the option of keeping it 'private', a private task may



Leave a task unassigned and we'll add it to the pool of jobs needed doing. We'll prompt other members through their dashboards and the weekly briefing emails to pick up those tasks and single-click add them to their own tasks if they are looking for a job to do. Of course, we'll also email you to let you know when they change the status to 'Complete'.

Tasks are currently in 'beta', this means they may have bugs in there, and it may change radically in the next few weeks, but the benefits of releasing it early outweigh the catches. Soon we'll be delivering the equipment, asset, and supplies tracking tool and we'll move tasks out of beta status. Equipment will be very closely linked to the tasks as we let you create and track repairs, maintenance, gear inspections, and other recurring tasks using the same interface.



All suggestions should be added to our 'Improve It' area as it allows us to track them against the page. Enjoy the tool!
