How do I create tasks in Entries?

In the Entries app, streamline product content creation by creating and assigning tasks to team members. These tasks could involve adding marketing descriptions, product photos, or specifications to Product Details pages. You can create tasks manually on Product Details pages or have them be automatically assigned via Paths when products are added to Entries.

Create tasks manually¶

Only users with admin permission in the Entries app can manually create tasks. In Entries, select a product from the product list. On the Product Details page, select Tasks to open the Product tasks panel and view all tasks that exist for that product.

Select the add icon in the panel. 

Next, give the task a name. The name can be a maximum of 100 characters. Assign a task to one or more Acquia DAM users with access to Entries. The maximum number of assignees is 100. To give assignees more information about the task, you can write instructions, which can be a maximum of 1,000 characters. Then save. 

This task will only be associated with one product. After saving your task, it will appear in the Product tasks panel and assignees will receive an email notifying them of the new task to complete. 

All users of the Entries app can view and interact with the task panel, including marking a task complete by selecting the checkbox. Users can hide completed tasks using the toggle setting in the panel.

When tasks are completed, the person who assigned the task will receive an email notifying them of the change. 

 

Create tasks automatically with Paths¶

You can also choose to use Paths to automatically assign tasks and notify assignees when a product is created Entries. View the instructions on how to set up tasks with Paths.

 

Delete tasks¶

Only Entries admins can delete tasks in the Product tasks panel. To do this, expand the task and select Delete.
