5.5.1  How to create tasks

Kerio Outlook Connector allows assigning of tasks to other persons. This tool is helpful for example to team leaders and managers who can delegate tasks to their subordinates who can later redelegate parts of the task to other persons.

One of the advantages of delegating of tasks to other persons is that the person who assigns the task is informed about the task's progress. Once the person to whom the task was assigned accepts the task, we keep being informed on the task's progress as well as of the task's completion at the end of the process. One task can be always assigned to one person only.

To assign a task, follow these instructions:

  1. Create a new task.

  2. On the Task tab in the toolbar, click on Assign Task (see figure 5.10  Assigning of a task).

  3. This opens the To entry. Enter the email address of the person to whom you want to assign the task.

  4. Click on Send to assign the task.

The task is now sent to the addressee's mailbox where it can be either accepted or refused by the mailbox user. If the task is accepted. it is moved to the Tasks folder automatically. Upon each update of the task's status, an email message with information on changes is sent to the person who created the task.
