Assigning a Task to a specific Employee as a Task Appointment.

The Tasks displayed in the Task List section of the Employee Calendar Form are restricted to those Tasks which:

Have not been Completed,

Were originally entered by the Current User,

Have not yet been assigned to an Employee as a Task Appointment.

Therefore, any Task displayed in the Task List should, as soon as possible, be assigned to the Employee who will be responsible for accomplishing that Task.

By doing so, when viewing the Employee Calendar, because Task Appointment has been created, without having to Click the Task tab it is immediately apparent which Tasks are outstanding, unassigned, and/or need the attention of an Employee.

 

Assigning an Unassigned Task in the Task List:

To assign a Task - displayed on the Task List - to an Employee, use the Task Appointment Editor as follows:

a.Select the Day View tab on the Employee Calendar Form.
