Tasks help you manage actions that need attention, such as approvals, onboarding steps, or reminders. When you are assigned a task, Applaud notifies you with:
- An email containing a link to the task.
- A badge on the toolbar shows the number of tasks waiting for you next to the tick icon.
Viewing tasks
Open tasks are shown on the Tasks page by default. You can:
- Change the filters to view closed tasks.
- Filter by status, type, or outcome
- Sort by newest, oldest, or due date
- Use the search icon to filter tasks by a keyword
If you select multiple manual tasks, you can mark them all as complete at once. (Approval tasks must be completed individually.)
Managing tasks
You can use More options to:
- Reassign a task to another person
- Mark as complete
- Delete a task
When you delete a task, Applaud also deletes the corresponding notification.
Manual tasks
You can also create a task manually. For example, an HR manager might assign a buddy task to support a new hire.
When creating a manual task:
- Select a user from your Applaud tenant and add a note.
- The assigned user receives an email with a link to the task.
- The user can edit the task details, complete it, or reassign it to someone else.
