How to Create and Assign a Task

Creating a task is really simple and easy with imploy. The system follows a Name-First workflow, ensuring tasks are properly created before participants and billing details are applied.

Step 1: Create the Task (Name First)

  1. Navigate to the target date.

  2. Click the dashed row at the bottom of the task list.

  3. Enter a Task Name (up to 100 characters), such as:

    • Morning Support

    • Community Access

  4. Press Enter.
    Once you press Enter, the task is immediately saved to the database and becomes an active task.


Step 2: Assign a Participant

Every task must be linked to a participant for accurate tracking, reporting, and billing.

  1. Click the Person (User) Icon on the left side of the task row.

  2. Use the search field to find a participant by name.

  3. Select the participant.

What happens next:

  • The task is instantly updated.

  • The participant’s initials or avatar will appear in the task row.

Important:

You can’t assign a participant until the task has a name. If the task hasn’t been named yet, the system will prompt you to do that first.


Step 3: Set the Charge

  1. Click Set Charge.​

  2. Select the appropriate Price Book.

The system automatically applies the latest rates from the selected price book, so there’s no need to manually verify pricing.


Why the Name-First Workflow?

A task name is required to initialise the task record. Once named and saved:

  • The placeholder row becomes an active task

  • Participants can be assigned

  • Billing and charge details can be applied

This approach ensures clean data, accurate billing, and reliable reporting.


Example

Monday | 05/01/2026

Task created → Participant assigned → Charge set

Time and cost update automatically based on your selections.
