Tasks presentation

Tasks, or manual activities, can be used in different ways :

Tasks are created from the Activities tab.

Task creation

General informations are required :

  • Task title

  • If necessary, an additional description

  • Display start date: by default, the task is visible as soon as it is created, but tasks can be scheduled so that they only appear to users at a later date

  • Due date, corresponding to the deadline by which the task must be completed

  • Activity notification email settings (detailed in the Task summary step)

c

Once the information has been entered, click Next at the bottom of the page to move to the selection of the scope of affected buildings (Image 2):

  • Tasks can be created on all building versions (master, scenario, etc.)

  • Filters are available for each column, in particular to use a saved search (accessible by clicking the funnel icon in the Building name column)

c

Click Next to define the users concerned by the task in the final tab (Image 3):

  • Users can be added individually; in this case, they can validate tasks whether or not they belong to the building team

  • Alternatively, the task can be assigned to one or more building team roles; in this case, each user can only validate tasks related to the buildings for which they are part of the team

Finally, click the double arrow button to confirm the entry.

Task access and monitoring

To access tasks, click the side panel button on the right-hand side of the screen.

The task list is then displayed, for you and for any users who may have been specified:

By clicking on a task, you access the task details:

  • The task description is displayed.

  • The list of related buildings is also shown:

    • Buildings still pending.

    • Completed buildings, displayed in grey at the bottom section.

  • A comment button allows you to add notes to a task.
    Its display changes when a comment is present.

Task Summary

From your profile page, accessible by clicking the icon in the top-right corner of the screen and then on your name, you can access the settings for your activity summary.

The first tab, Notification list by activity, allows you to define, among all available activities, the sending frequency for each one.

The second tab, Notification frequency, allows you to:

  • Specify, for each frequency, the day(s) on which the report should be sent

  • Define the time at which the summary email should be sent

  • Enable or disable summary emails using the checkbox

For custom tasks, it is possible to define in which emails they will appear.

For example, by unchecking “In the daily email” for the task TEST, this task will not be included in the daily email. All other custom tasks will still be included, except this one.

However, the TEST task will still be included in the weekly and monthly emails if these options remain checked and if email delivery is enabled for those frequencies.

The summary e-mail is then sent according to the defined rules.
