Tasks & Notes Keywords¶
If you would like to capture more (or different) information than what is standard on a Task or Note, you can add Keywords to the Task or Note. Keywords can be created by a System Admin and will display along with each Task or Note. The purpose is to give you the flexibility to gather information that is not already in the standard form. It also allows you to capture information without needing to include everything with the Task or Note Details. You can choose to create Keywords that trigger additional instructions and/or questions or you can create Keywords without additional actions that simply let you search/find the Task or Note you need more efficiently. Keywords are utilized in the Tasks & Notes Search as well as in Search Builder.
Sample Task without Keywords¶
Sample Task with Keywords¶
Sample Task with Keywords and Extra Questions¶
When adding a Task or Note, you determine which specific actions, if any, are triggered when selecting the appropriate Keyword(s). For example, you may create a Keyword, “Connection Card,” to allow your team to answer the standard questions on your church’s guest card. When someone selects the “Connection Card” Keyword, additional questions will then appear on the Note. These questions can be checkboxes, a dropdown menu, single or multi line text, date picker, or yes/no question. You can also include headers and instruction text to further clarify your questions that are associated with your Keyword.
Step by Step Instructions for Keywords¶
- Step 1
To add Keywords, go to Admin > Advanced > Lookup Codes > Tasks & Notes > Keywords. Click the green +Add Keyword button. A new Keyword is created with the Code and Keyword listed as
