Implementation: Task Types and Categories

Adding Task Types and Categories into the System for Data Recording and Reporting.

Task categories and types are used to help organize work, so it is easier to report the data that you need. These are completely customizable, and anything could be added or removed at any time based on what types of work you want to track.

Task Types and Categories Example

Task Types are the types of work performed. They can be repeated under different categories.

Task Categories are groupings of related tasks. 

For example, the Category, "Turf Maintenance" may have Tasks Types like Mowing, Inspections, Watering, General Maintenance, etc. 

In this list, Categories are BOLD and Task Types are normal text.

If this list seems like a good start, feel free to review it and make any appropriate changes. We will then enter it into the system.

Please Note: This is a sample of task types and categories. At any point during implementation and beyond, you could revise the task types and categories.

For example, you can build out Turf Maintenance to include things like aeration, topdressing, and dethatching instead of just general maintenance if you wanted to collect data on these individual tasks completed at different assets.

It’s a simple process we will go over during implementation meetings.
