The  Tasks module’s permission to manage settings (Tasks > Manage Settings) allows users to have access to the Task & Support Settings, where they can designate other users to have the “Support Administrator or Support Staff” roles to manage internal support tickets for the organization.

• The Support Staff role is intended to be assigned to users who will receive internal support tickets created by employees in the organization, pertaining to the defined modules or ticket types assigned to the user.
• The Support Administrator role is intended to be assigned to users who will have full visibility over all of the support tickets created by all employees in the organization and will have the ability to escalate tickets to CentralReach for additional support.

Once support tickets are created, users with these defined roles can view the tickets in the Support Tickets section of the  Tasks module.

Task Templates can be created when you are frequently creating a task for the same list of activities or action items. Once the task template is created, utilize it when creating the new task, to facilitate and expedite the task creation process.

For example, if you are responsible for onboarding new employees in your organization and need all new employees to complete five different actions within CentralReach upon hire, create a task template with those five action items. Then when an employee is hired, create a task for the new employee, using the task template with the five actions items they are required to complete.

In the  Tasks module you can create, assign, and share any type of projects or action items for yourself or for other employees in your organization. Tasks help you to stay on track with your daily routines and to-do lists, by allowing you to prioritize your work, track progress, assign deadlines and plan your work for multiple days in advance, all within CentralReach.

The  Tasks module grid can be customized to include as much information as needed to sort, filter, and review the status of your tasks. You can also create tasks directly from the Claims module, the Dashboard module, and the Billing module, to keep track and follow up on things like expiring authorizations, payor follow up deadlines, client re-scheduling updates, and more.

Through the  Tasks module, you can review the status of tickets submitted to CentralReach for technical support.

When navigating to the Tasks module, the main drop-down menu has the following options to help access and manage tasks and support tickets.

1. + Add New Task: create a new task
2. All Tasks: view all open, completed, and deleted tasks
3. Open Tasks: view only open tasks

Users with the (Tasks > Administrator) permission enabled will see all of the tasks created in the organization, and not only the ones created by you or assigned to you.

The Tasks widget provides easy access to tasks from My Dashboard/Home or from the client’s Dashboard and can be accessed if users have the (Tasks > Access) permission. 

The Tasks widget allows users to view your due & overdue tasks, filter tasks due today or tasks overdue, and has a link to access the  Tasks module to view all of tasks. The client’s Tasks widget provides the same options, but only for the client’s tasks, helping users view and work specifically on the client’s tasks from their Dashboard, and giving access to view tasks assigned to the client or opened on behalf of the client. From the Tasks widget in the Dashboard, users can open tasks by clicking the New Task  button.

Please note, employees can view their own Tasks widget and clients’ Tasks widgets, but not other employees’. To view tasks assigned to you and by you, go to the Tasks module.

Leaving tasks unassigned creates a tasks queue of work or action items that can be completed by any user in the organization, or a defined group of users. You can filter all of the unassigned tasks created by you, by selecting Unassigned from me in the  Tasks module’s main navigation drop-down menu, and can filter tasks created and unassigned by other users, by selecting Unassigned from Others.
