00:00:04.100 --> 00:00:07.300
So today I'm going to show you how to create a task within Workhorse.

1
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.300
Over here on the left. We have a task tab, so

2
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:12.800
 I'm going to select tasks.

3
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.100
That I can come down here and select new task.

4
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.100
When I select that it will bring us to the task creation screen.

5
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:26.400
So tasks and more course are assignable reminders. They can

6
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:28.400
 go to anyone. That's a

7
00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:30.300
 user in Workhorse for your company.

8
00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:34.900
And over here on the left, we can select a contact a company

9
00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:37.500
 if it applies a site and a

10
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.900
 deal but for tasks these are not required.

11
00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:45.600
You have the option to select these so say for today. I'm

12
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.900
 going to use this specific example of a customer calling in

13
00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:51.300
 and asking for somebody to reach back out and

14
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:51.700
 call them back.

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.900
So in a case like that we can come over here. So

16
00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:57.200
 say that contact called in.

17
00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.900
We can start typing in their name.

18
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:03.200
And select that contact they gave us a call.

19
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.600
We see there's no company tied to them.

20
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.200
And if you'd like you can add a specific site. So say

21
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.400
 they were calling about their system.

22
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:14.000
installed in hollybush Terrace

23
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:15.900
We could select that site.

24
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:18.000
And that specific system.

25
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:20.900
And then we can put the title.

26
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:23.300
So for this example.

27
00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:26.900
You want to put callback Al?

28
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:31.000
And then in this description we can kind of

29
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.500
 go into more detail and explain what maybe he called about.

30
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:36.800
So we could type in our call then.

31
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:40.400
Yes to speak.

32
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:42.900
the technician

33
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:46.700
system

34
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:50.700
or we're not on the service call, whatever you need to put in here.

35
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:56.300
Then down here. We have a status as well as a priority.

36
00:01:57.300 --> 00:01:58.700
So that this particular task?

37
00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:02.300
It's open so we know that nobody's called them back.

38
00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.100
And we can adjust the priority as well.

39
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:08.300
So for this case, I'm going to select high priority because he

40
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:09.300
 needs a callback immediately.

41
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.700
We can adjust it to whatever you like.

42
00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:16.200
And then here on the scheduler if we click show scheduler.

43
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.900
It'll actually pull up every single user that you have in Workhorse in

44
00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:21.000
 the system.

45
00:02:21.900 --> 00:02:23.100
Not just technicians.

46
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.600
So once you find a specific person you want to tie this to you

47
00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:31.200
 can select that person or you can leave the

48
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.400
 task open for anybody to pick it up. If that's the

49
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.200
 case. We don't have to schedule anybody and we can just go

50
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:38.400
 ahead and create this task.

51
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:42.700
But for this example, I'm going to assign this to Steve.

52
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.800
So I'm going to double click in a time slot. It will

53
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.300
 automatically pull in the title as well as the description that

54
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:50.900
 we'd entered.

55
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:53.800
We can go ahead and create that task.

56
00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:57.400
And by doing this on the scheduler, we actually assign it to

57
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.600
 Steve who will pop up on his calendar for him to view.

58
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:01.000
So if we hit create.

59
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:03.500
We can see that task is now created.

60
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.000
Then we can come down to the bottom and select create task.

61
00:03:11.100 --> 00:03:11.700
Once we do that.

62
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.200
Will bring us to the task screen so we can

63
00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:21.000
 see the contact that we assign this to the site

64
00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:21.900
 as well as the system.

65
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:24.000
We can see Steve Hayes down here.

66
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.200
And then we have the title the description and all of this

67
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:32.200
 can be updated if you need to add any Eternal notes.

68
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:36.400
They can be listed here. These the customer will not see these are strictly for

69
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.500
 internal purposes.

70
00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:42.400
But for example, I scheduled this for Steve so Steve

71
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.600
 blogs in who I'm currently logged in is now

72
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:46.700
If we go to his calendar.

73
00:03:49.700 --> 00:03:51.300
We can see that test that we just created.

74
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:55.400
Is listed on his calendar and he's able to actually just

75
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.600
 click into his calendar. He can see the task the time

76
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:00.700
 frame so it's assigned to himself.

77
00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.400
And then the brief description and he can go right to that task.

78
00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:07.600
And say he gives them a call back.

79
00:04:08.600 --> 00:04:10.800
He can manually update the status to resolved.

80
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.100
It will change that task to resolved.

81
00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:18.300
So now if we come over here to the left on the

82
00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:19.000
 test tab

83
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:21.300
And we can select manage tasks.

84
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.400
We can see that the one that we created.

85
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:29.400
Is now in resolve status because Steve completed that

86
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:29.900
 task.
