* **Name**, **Assigned To** (one or more users) and **Branch**.
* **When to create it:**
  * Tick **Create Task on Action** and choose **When**: for example a new patient, invoice, payment or prescription, or an appointment status change. The task is linked to that patient or record.
  * Or choose an **Interval**: every **Day**, **Week** (on chosen weekdays) or **Month** (on chosen days).
* **Due After:** the number of days to complete it.
* **Priority:** High, Medium or Low.
* **Approval Required:** a manager must approve the task after it's done.

* **Active.**

Tasks appear in the **Tasks** list icon in the top bar. Click **Completed** when done. Users with approval permission then **Mark Approved** or **Mark NOT Approved**. All tasks are in **Logs → Tasks**.
