The Task Board is an interactive component of the Event Room, that enables you to allocate key activities across your organisation, stay abreast of their progress and successfully manage critical events.

If no event is in progress, see How do I create an event?
In the Event Room, scroll to the bottom of the page.
On the right, you will see the summary version of the Task Board.
Click on the summary Task Board heading to open in the SAME tab, or Open in new tab, to open a NEW tab for the Task Board.
Congratulations, you are now accessing the full Task Board!
How do I use the Task Board?
Each row of the task board displays the priority of the item, a reference number, the status of the task, a description, due time and date, the assignor, the assignee and time and date created.
Any rows with new or updated information will highlight in light purple. You can also toggle, on or off, the ability to notify assignees of the tasks allocated to them via SMS.
Search and Filter
The search bar allows you to search for and display tasks that contain specific keywords of your choice. The task board can be filtered by status, time period and priority; all of the filters can be cleared at any time.
Notify Assignees
When assigning tasks on the Task Board, you have the option to notify assignees of their new tasks via SMS. You can turn this feature on or off as needed.
There are two types of task notification options available:
Please note if you assign a task to yourself, you will NOT receive an SMS notification.
All Tasks (board level)
You can enable notifications for all tasks on the Task Board level. This means that every time a task is assigned, the assignee will receive an SMS notification. They will also receive updates for the task, such as changes to priority, due date, status changes to "in progress" or "complete," and any other updates.
Select Tasks (task level)
This can be done at an individual Task level, meaning only that task will trigger notifications.
