Your Tasks Dashboard

To navigate to your Tasks Dashboard click on Tasks from the navigation bar.

The Tasks Dashboard will show all of the tasks assigned to you, as well as quick access to all candidates, pools and vacancies that you own or have been shared with you.

Your Tasks list is split into three types of tasks:

• Overdue tasks
• Tasks due today
• Upcoming tasks

Below is an overview of the Tasks dashboard and the various navigations.

1. Add Task button: Click here to create a new task as a reminder for yourself or to assign a task to another Beamery user.
2. Filter bar: the options in this bar allow you to filter the tasks displayed by the Assigned User or the Vacancy or Pool to which they relate.
3. Edit, Complete or Delete: these options allow you to edit or delete the task or mark it as completed.
   • Ticking the "Mark as complete" box removes the task from your list. You can report on how many tasks a user has completed.
   • Edit a task by clicking on the pencil icon. This will take you back to the "Create Task" window where you can amend the task's details
   • Delete a task by clicking on the bin icon.

Create a Task Linked to a Pool or Vacancy

To help you further collaborate with colleagues, you can create a task associated with a particular Pool or Vacancy. For example, you may want to ask a hiring manager to review candidates in a pool or work with a colleague to help source candidates for an open role.

To create a task, navigate to your tasks dashboard. Click on the add task button at the top right of your dashboard.

A create task modal will open. Begin filling out the task description, select a user from the Assigned User dropdown to assign the task, and set the due date for the task.

Then, assign the task to a pool or vacancy by selecting Pool or Vacancy from the Assign Task to list. When you select Pool or Vacancy a dropdown will appear allowing you to choose a specific Pool or Vacancy to assign the task to. Alternatively, select none if you wish to create a task that is not assigned to a pool or vacancy.

Once done, click Create Task. The task will appear in your dashboard if assigned to you. A task that you have assigned to another team member will appear in their Tasks Dashboard.

Create a Task Linked to a Candidate

You can also create tasks associated with a particular candidate in your database. Candidate tasks are useful when collaborating with team members to review candidate profiles for open roles, or when sourcing new candidates to build up your pipelines.

To create a candidate task, navigate to a contact whom you wish to associate a task with. You can find candidates in your CRM, in a talent pool or vacancy by using filters. Alternatively, search for the candidate by typing their name in the Quick Search bar at the top of your screen.

Within the header of the candidate's profile, select the task icon. A "Create Task" window will appear. Fill in the task description, assign it to a user and select a due date. 

The task will immediately appear in the candidate's History log. You can complete the task by following the View details link to the Tasks page where you can also edit or delete the task.
