# Tasks

View, create and handle tasks in Sapera Mobile: assign to yourself, edit fields, log working time and complete the task.

Under **Tasks** you find the tasks you and your colleagues work with. You can search, filter, create new tasks and handle them directly in the app.

## The task list

-   Tasks are shown grouped and can be **searched** and **filtered** (for example on status, type, responsible, created by and date) via the list preferences. You can save your filters as a view you can return to.
    
-   Change **organizational unit** at the top to see tasks in another unit.
    
-   **Swipe the line** and tap **Assign to me** to take an unassigned task, if it does not have a responsible yet.
    
-   The task you are checked in on (that is, where your time is running) is **highlighted** in the list, so you can quickly see where time is being booked.
    
-   The colour on the left edge follows the colour of the task type.
    
-   If the task is linked to a sales order, it opens the sales order; otherwise it opens the task itself.
    

## Create a task

Tap **New task**, enter a **title**, choose a **task type** and save. The task opens afterwards so you can fill in the rest.

## View and edit a task

On the task you see a summary with **created by**, **task type**, **title**, **description**, **status**, **from** and **to** date, **responsible** as well as when the task was started and completed. You can:

-   Edit the individual fields (title, description, status, dates, responsible).
    
-   Use **Add field** to start using a field that is not filled in yet.
    
-   View and add **attachments**.
    
-   View and edit the **work log**.
    

## Work log

The work log shows the time logged on the task. You can edit it:

1.  Tap **+** in the work log table to add a line manually.
    
2.  Tap a line to edit it, or remove it if it is wrong.
    

If you have chosen it in the setup, **start** and **end time** are hidden so you only enter the duration.

## Attachments

You can add an attachment to the task by **taking a photo**, **picking an image** from the phone or **recording a video**. You are asked for a title for the attachment. Tap an attachment to open it, or remove it again.

## Complete the task

With **Complete** you mark the task as done when the work has been carried out. You are asked to confirm.

## Good to know

-   Which **task types**, **statuses** and fields are available is controlled by the setup in Financial.
    
-   Colours on type and status follow the setup you have chosen.
    
-   If you cannot see the menu item, you probably do not have permission for it – contact support.
