# Tasks

> Assign tasks to staff with a due date and priority, and follow them until they're done.

Use tasks to give a job to a colleague, like calling a patient back or ordering materials. Go to **Logs → Tasks**:

## ➕ Add a task

Click **New Task** (1):

1. Enter the task **Name**.
2. Choose who it's **Assigned To** and the **Branch**.
3. Set the **Due Date** and **Priority**.
4. Tick **Approval Required** if someone must approve the task once it's done.
5. Add any **Details** and click **Create**.

## ✔️ Follow up tasks

The assigned user is notified. When the job is done, they mark the task **Completed**. If approval is required, the task then waits for someone to **Approve** it.

  Tasks can also be created for you: see [Automatic tasks](/en/setup-settings/process/automatic-task-settings).
