The Task tool provides a means for focused communication between Manager and Responder users about specific actions during a mission. Tasks can also be linked to reports, requiring a report to be submitted before a task can be completed.
Tasks are created in Manager with a few specific details but can be edited by mission analysts later. The details required for any task to be created are name, description, and location. Optional details are task priority and due date.
Tasks are assigned to a single Responder user to be fulfilled as part of their mission responsibilities. They have the ability create notes and attach images to any task.
Every task has a status, which can be changed by either the mission analyst who created it or the Responder user it is assigned to. By default, tasks are in Assigned status when first created, but can be changed to In Progress, Paused, or Completed as appropriate.
Tasks are displayed on the mission map, represented by a point. This point changes color to reflect the task's status, allowing users to easily identify and distinguish them from other map features and determine their level of completion.
