Creating a Task List

The first step in creating tasks is to create a Task List. This allows users to organize tasks around projects or other company requirements. To add a Task List, click the Add a List link and select a name in the textbox. Click Add when satisfied:

Adding a Task to a Task List

Once a Task List has been created, we can now begin adding tasks. To add a Task, click the Add a Task link inside the desired Task List. Enter the task details in the textbox provided. Use the drop-down menu to select the user to which this task is to be assigned. Click Add to save this task. You may now press Done to finalize, or, continue the same process to add more tasks:

Hover the mouse over a task to see details of who assigned the task and to whom, along with links to each user's profile.

Viewing a Task Report

Each Task Manager allows the user to view a Task Report. A Task Report is designed to present a list of tasks based on restrictions specified by the user. Task Reports are created using the drop-down menus at the top of the Task Manager view.

The first drop-down menu allows the user to specify the Task List used for this report. The second drop-down menu selects the user who assigned the task, the third drop-down menu specifies the the assignee:

Marking a Task as Complete

Once a task has been completed, it may be marked as such. When a task is marked as complete, it will still show in the list of tasks, however the description will be greyed and the checkbox next to it's name will be ticked. Noodle will also display how long ago the task was completed and by whom. To revive a task that has been deleted and make it active again, simply uncheck the box next to it's name:

Deleting a Task List

Deleting a Task List is a very simple, one-click procedure. Hover your mouse over the Task List name and click the trash icon as shown:
