Scheduled Task Dialog

The scheduled task dialog enables you to record a Scheduled Task in the system for you or someone else to do. You can use this function to track labour resources and ensure that important tasks are performed in a timely manner. Completed tasks can be used to track worker hours when calculating wages.

Tasks entered here are added to the schedule for assigned users.
