Learn how to make the most of dynamic Tasks.
We're excited to introduce you to dynamic Tasks! While we've had dynamic Exercises, Surveys, and 1-to-1s in the system for a while now, we're pleased to say that you'll now be able to manage the setting and automation of Tasks more easily than ever.
What is a dynamic Task? What's new?
Previously, you were only able to set or schedule Tasks for people who were already part of a team, group, or company.
For example - previously:
If you wanted to set a mandatory piece of financial training to the Finance Team, you'd be able set it for people who were a member of that team at the time you set the Task.
But, if new joiners were added to the team a month later, they wouldn't automatically be tasked the mandatory training, and you'd have to manually set the Task again.
However, with dynamic Tasks:
You now have the option to automatically schedule Tasks to be set for new joiners - whether they're joining a team, group, or the company - without having to manually go back and set the same Task!
In essence, the scheduling and setting of Tasks is now easy and automated - and helpful in ensuring that no piece of training (mandatory or otherwise) is forgotten!
How do I create a Task?
Step 1: In the top navigation bar, select the + icon, and add a Task.
Step 2: Choose the Task you'd like your learners to complete.
Assigning the Task - what are the different options?
You can assign a Task to individuals, teams, groups, and the whole company.
For teams, groups, and company, you'll have the option to set the Task for new joiners. Let's take a look at what that means.
What happens if I assign it to....
Current and new members:
Any current members to either the Company/Team/Group will have the task assigned
Any new members that fit the criteria for the Company/Team/Group will then be assigned the task once they accept their invite to the platform.
If set with an immediate deadline this will only take effect on current members tasks.
New users will have a dynamic deadline.
Current members only:
This task will only assign to current members in the Company/Team/Group
If you select this option then any new members need this task assigned then you will need to assign a separate task
