Create a task

As Comm.care focuses on person-centred care, you'll be creating tasks for staff in interest to the participant/circle. And so Comm.care allows you to create tasks from the Circle's Calendar. To create a new task, go to:

My Circle's > Choose the circle you want to create a task for > Calendar > Add Event > Add Task

Where to find tasks

You can find your assigned tasks on your Comm.care home screen, under Today's events and also in My Calendar.

Appointments for the day can also be now viewed on the task list with a distinct icon (Daily activities appointment in the image).

It can also be seen in the staff calendar i.e My Calendar and My Organisation Calendar without any linked progress notes. This way you will also be able to see all the tasks for the week or even for a month from your Calendar.

Notifications

Creating a task will send out an e-mail from the system to notify the respective assignee from where they can log in to Comm.care for a detailed view.

Complete a task

Once the task is completed, you can open it and edit it to slide the switch to Done. Press Save changes.

All the completed tasks will be ticked off and will look like this:
