Tasklists

Use the Tasklists feature to view, open and track tasks to complete. Task examples include: Inventory Counts, Employee Deactivation, and Food Reports.

Select a task from a tasklist to automatically open the respective Xenial Back Office utility and perform the task. Once a task is selected, it is flagged on the tasklist to indicate it has been addressed.

There are two types of tasklists:

Things to Know

Do any dependencies exist between tasks on a tasklist?

Steps can have a dependency. If a dependent task exists and is not complete, the task with the dependency is considered "Locked" until the dependent task is completed.

A "Locked" task appears on the tasklist in gray font with a lock icon next to its name.

Is it possible to see the status of a task based on another user's progress?

The status of a Simple Tasklist is associated with the ID of the user who performed the tasks. Users cannot see another user's progress on a Simple Tasklist.

The status of a Tracked Tasklist is associated with the selected site and date. Users can see the progress on a Tracked Tasklist for a particular site/date.

Does a task indicator revert to incomplete (i.e. not green) if the selected task is opened, but not completed?

Once a task is selected the task indicator turns green to indicate the task has been addressed regardless if the task is actually completed by the user. If necessary, select Start Over to refresh the tasklist and clear the task indicators.
