The "notes" field, present in every task, serves a versatile range of purposes. Regardless of the type of task you're creating or completing, we highly recommend using this field whenever an event or information needs to be recorded:
- Creating Customized Tasks: When you need to assign a task that doesn't have a predefined template or falls outside the standard task categories, you can create a customized task by entering all the relevant details in the "notes" field. This allows you to tailor the task to your specific requirements and provide comprehensive instructions.
- Adding Details to Predefined Tasks: Predefined tasks often come with concise names, but sometimes additional context or instructions are necessary for successful execution. The "notes" field enables you to expand on these predefined tasks, offering extra details, specifications, or special considerations that the assignee should be aware of.
- Providing Task Progress Updates: As a task progresses, you can use the "notes" field to document updates, milestones, or any noteworthy information related to the task - i.e. when conducting an inspection or when closing the task. This serves as a communication tool to keep team members informed about the task's status and any developments. It can be especially useful for tracking and reporting on the task's journey from start to completion, ensuring transparency and accountability.
This practice is essential for maintaining a comprehensive record, which can be invaluable during task reviews and for gaining a deeper understanding of task history and context.
