Add and Assign Tasks

Create GPS enabled tasks on the map, assign to users and get notified

Updated over a week ago

The tasks feature allows teammates to work together to get jobs done. Tasks are anything that you or another teammate might need to do on-farm, for example, fixing a fence, feeding stock or filling a water trough. 

Tasks can be used to monitor the progress of employees and ensure high priority operations are completed. Tasks can also be placed in the exact location on your Farm Map, so that if you assign the task to another teammate they know where that task needs to be completed. 

Tasks can be created and assigned to employees via the Mobile App or Web App. 

Adding a Task from the Mobile App

From the Mobile App, select Tasks

Task Notifications

You will receive a push notification to your device in the following scenarios:

  • When a task is assigned to you: when a task is assigned to a user they will get an immediate push

    • If the task is then edited, a new notification will send

  • When a task is due: the day a task is due a user will get a notification at 8am notifying them the task is due today

  • When a task is overdue: the day after a task was due the user will get a notification at 8am if the task has not been completed.

Other things to note:

  • If a task is assigned to multiple users, all users assigned to the task will get the same set of notifications

  • If a task has a date range:

    • Start date will trigger the 'task due' notification and end date will trigger the 'task overdue' notification

  • If you assign a task to yourself you won’t get a notification and if the task has no assignee, no notifications will be sent

  • If there is no due date, only the task assigned notification will be sent (no due or over due notifications will be sent)

FAQs

Question

Answer

How much space does an image take up on my device?

We optimise the size of the image to reduce storage required. We limit the image size (to 3MB with a max width and height of 4000px) for optimal experience and to reduce time taken to sync.

However, the more images taken on device, the more storage will be required.

What happens when I add photos or want to view photos offline?

If you add photos offline you will be able to see them immediately. When you sync your device others who have access to those tasks will see them too (once they have synced).

If you want to view photos others have added offline you need to ensure both parties have synced their devices.

Can I access images on tasks from the web?

No, at this stage images on tasks are only visible on the mobile app.

Will I get a push notification if a task is assigned to me?

Yes, you will get a push notification if a task is assigned to you, or if a task that has been assigned to you is edited.

Will I get a push notification if I am offline?

No, but you will get the notification if you are back online.

I am not getting push notifications for tasks assigned to me?

Check your device settings (not the AgriWebb App) to allow notifications from AgriWebb.

Will I get a notification if a task is due soon/overdue?

Yes, you will receive a notification at 8am the day of or 8am the day after.
