# Tasks

Create, assign, and manage tasks in Android OutSmart NEXT.

## Tasks

Tasks are lightweight to-do items for work outside a full work order.

Use them for follow-ups, quick jobs, and actions for colleagues.

### What you can do

* Create tasks and link them to a client.
* Assign one owner and one or more colleagues.
* Set start and due dates, category, priority, and status.
* Review, edit, or delete existing tasks.

### Required task information

To save a new task, add a title, owner, colleague, category, priority, and status.

The app highlights missing required fields.

Priorities are **Low**, **Normal**, and **High**. A new task usually starts as **Yet to start**.

Available statuses are **Yet to start**, **In progress**, **Expired**, **Closed**, and **Completed**.

### Create a task

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Tasks

Go to **Overview** and open **Tasks**.

Tap the add button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add task details

Enter a title and description.

Select the linked client, owner, and colleagues.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Plan the task

Set the start and due dates and times.

Choose a category, priority, and status.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Save the task after completing all required fields.

The due time must be later than the start time. It cannot be the same.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Manage a task

Open a task to review or edit its title, people, dates, category, priority, or status.

Delete tasks you no longer need. Use **Undo** immediately after accidental deletion.

Tasks differ from work orders. They track smaller actions and follow-up work.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next/module-overviews/overview/tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
