Getting too many Task Notifications??

Missing out on your day-to-day Tasks??

Quixy’s Task Organization is your saviour!!! 

Why task organization is required?

Quixy has a very flexible and easy approach to task management. When automating a business process flow in Quixy, tasks are created for various users to take action on them according to the process flow.

Now each user could have various roles in a process, or he could be responsible for various processes. So, he will have multiple tasks generated for him in Quixy on a day-to-day basis.

In such scenarios, it is very much likely to miss the deadlines of important tasks and this might lead to business process disruption or even a financial loss.

To avoid such scenarios Quixy has a wonderful extension for Task Management where users can design their own view of Tasks with the help of Grouping, Filtering, and Sorting based on different criteria. This will help them see and acknowledge the assigned tasks in an organized way. This will also increase the visibility of the process for a user.

Some of the important highlights of Task Management are:

  • Sorting and Grouping on selected fields
  • Logged in user can drill-down and see all task details of his team
  • Filters to monitor tasks which are completed, pending, overdue, task aging
  • Color indicators based on due dates, overdue, aging, status of the task
