How Tasks are Completed
When Tasks are created in PeopleSafe, notifications of those tasks are sent to various users. The notification tells the user they have a task to do. The details of that task are found in the user's PeopleSafe account in their Task list and will stay there until it is 'Complete'. How the task is completed depends on what type of task it is.
To help you understand what's required to complete the tasks you will receive in PeopleSafe, we have listed them below with an explanation of the steps to complete each type of task.
As with most records in PeopleSafe, you can add Notes and Attachments to most tasks if this helps in providing the detail around what has actually been done. In general this should be done before you click Complete as some records are locked after completion.
Note: Several people may receive the same notification so refer to your internal processes on who should complete the task.
