What are Tasks and how to manage them

Updated over 4 months ago

In Event Temple, a Task is any activity or “to-do” that you have with a customer. These are commonly referred to as "Traces" in Hotels.

Common examples:

  • Sales Tasks: emails, cold calls, follow-up calls, meetings, etc.

  • Operational activities: a reminder to create a BEO, set up chairs, or create a Group Resume.

If you are in an operations role, we recommend that when working on your Tasks, you go to your Dashboard each morning to see what you have to do today and complete any overdue tasks first. If you are in Sales we recommend starting with the Task Calendar and following your scheduled plan for the day.

Locate Tasks by clicking Tasks on the left-hand sidebar. In this section, the Task List, you can see all of your past, present, and future tasks related to an Account, Contact, or Booking. As with any table view in Event Temple, you can apply filters, customize columns and export the view as a report.

Recurring Tasks are not currently available, however it is possible to apply Workflows to selected Bookings.

Important Considerations

If you are part of a Chain, you can see all your tasks across all Chains by toggling to the Chain Dashboard from the dropdown in the top right. You can also add a column into the view to see which Organisation the Tasks belong to. For more information on Chain Dashboard please click the link below.
