Creating Tasks and Reminders

Tasks & Reminders

My Tasks & Reminders is a Object Workflow driven system designed to make the delegating of HR Tasks easier. Employee's who are 'responsible' for the carrying out of tasks are the people who see the tasks on their My Tasks & Reminders list.
When creating a Task & Reminder this must be created under the relevant Object.
For Example: A Task for 'New Employee Checklist' would be created under the Employee Object, where as a Task to update 'Employee Shares' would be created under the Employee Shares Object.

Setting up Tasks Overview

Setting up tasks involves setting up a Workflow first.
In our example we want to create a New Employee Checklist, due on the Employee Start Date and has the following tasks:

• Prepare employee contract
• Setup new workstation
• Prepare budget for a welcome party.

Of course we are not going to be performing all these tasks by ourselves, but this is where we delegate these tasks to the appropriate person.

1. Create a Template for this Task, if you don't have one already created.
2. Create a workflow called New Employee Checklist
   Set the Workflow Type
   Create Task should be Yes
   Make the Workflow Task Type a Checklist.
3. Set conditions to trigger the Workflow.
4. Set our Due Date Field to Start Date (Employee).
5. Select the Checklist Tab and create a field for each task to be performed, enter the names of the tasks and select the employee responsible.
6. Select Save and we are done.
