Tasks & Notes Search Page ========================= The Tasks & Notes Search page is a list of all Tasks and Notes created in TouchPoint. To access this page, navigate to `People > Tasks & Notes`. A user can view any Task for which he is one of the following: - Creator - Owner - Assignee Exception: See :ref:`Special Roles ` .. note:: The **About** person will not see Tasks that are about him or her unless he or she is the **Owner** of the Task. .. note:: By design, this page will only show 100 results per page. If you plan to export tasks & notes, you will only be able to export in increments of 100 or less (depending on how many are on the page). .. _SpecialRoles: .. admonition:: Special Roles - ManageTouchpoints & ViewPrivateTouchpoints The `Admin` can assign the user role `ManageTouchpoints` to anyone that needs to be able to monitor and view all Tasks & Notes, regardless of whether or not the user is associated with them. This role would be good to assign to a pastor that is over several ministers or ministries, in order to easily keep up with Tasks that are incomplete. The `Admin` can also assign the role `ViewPrivateTouchpoints` to anyone that needs to be able to view all Tasks & Notes, regardless of role restrictions. .. tip:: A person with the `ManageTouchpoints` role might want to use the Advanced Search and set the filters as follows: - Type: Pending - Created From: *7 Days Ago* - Created To: *Today* This allows the minister to access the Tasks & Notes Search Page during a weekly staff meeting to report on any Tasks that have yet to be completed from the previous week. See :ref:`below for the Actions you can perform on this page `. Tabs ---- By default, when you arrive at this page, you will be viewing All Tasks and Notes. We have provided some quick filters at the top of the page to easily view only Open Tasks or only Closed Tasks & Notes. Filtering --------- This page has a number of ways to filter the list of Tasks and Notes. To access the advanced search and filter options, click on the down arrow to the right of the Search bar. .. figure:: https://i.tpsdb.com/Hayley-TasksNotesSearchFilter.png :target: # Task Search Filters Keywords Select the appropriate Keyword(s) from the drop-down list. People Involved There will be up to 4 people involved in each Task. They are listed and identified below. - **Owner** - In many cases, this will be the same as the Creator. Otherwise, it will be to whom the Task was transferred, if it has been transferred. - **Assignee** - This is the person that has been assigned to complete the Task. - **About** - This is the person about whom the Task was created, i.e. the person that will receive the ministry touch. - **Creator** - If the Task ownership has been transferred.

Tasks without a Due Date will appear in the filtered list. Role Select the appropriate Role from the drop down list to filter for Tasks/Notes limited to that Role. Not all of your church's Roles will appear in this list, just those that are indicated in the `LimitToRolesForTasksNotes` Setting, located by navigating to `Admin > Advanced > Settings > Features > Tasks & Notes`. .. important:: If you include multiple roles in the `LimitToRolesForTasksNotes` Setting, be sure to separate them by a comma and do not leave any spaces before or after any role in the list.

You will also see the Notes about the Completed Task. - `Pending` - Assignee has not yet accepted or declined the Task. - `Accepted` - Assignee has accepted the Task. - `Declined` - Assignee has declined the Task. - `Note` - This will allow you to filter for only the Notes, filtering out the Tasks. - `Archived` - This will filter for those Tasks and Notes that have been archived. Quick Search ------------ As an alternative to the Advanced Search, you may type directly into the Search Bar to utilize the powerful Quick Search feature. Your results will update on the page as you type, while it searches the database. For example, you may type any of the following options to quickly filter the page: - Owner's Name - Assignee's Name - About Person's Name - Task Status - Keyword - Partial Task/Note Details - Role - Due Date Easy Access ----------- The Tasks & Notes Search page has easy access to the following: - **People Record** - Click the Assignee's Name, Owner's Name, or About Person's Name to navigate to his/her People Record. - **Creation Details** - Click on the Due Date / Event Date to obtain more information about the Task/Note Creator and the Date the Task/Note was Created. - **Task/Note Details** - Click the Sideways Arrow at the end of the line for a Task/Note that contains more information than what is displayed on the screen. .. _TaskActions: Actions ------- This page offers several actions regarding the Tasks you are viewing. Anyone with `Access` can perform these actions for his own Tasks...or for other Tasks, if he has the role `ManageTouchpoints`. You will notice a menu available on the upper right-hand side of the Task/Note.
