Some tasks are easy to define, “don’t forget the milk”, “pick up the dry cleaning” or “remember to send the invoice”. But sometimes, the instruction needs to be a little bit more precise.

It’s always difficult to make instructions foolproof, because fools can be so ingenious

So, let’s go back to that simple one, “remember to send the invoice” perhaps it would be handy if the instruction could be a little more precise. For example, remember to send the invoice (invoice template attached), remember to follow the procedure (copy of invoicing procedure attached), this needs to be completed by [enter date here], and in fact will need to be repeated on the first – [Monday] of every [week/month].

Collabor8online, allows users to create tasks (and make them recurring) assign them to team members, with deadlines and include attachments to the task containing supporting or any other documentation.

It doesn’t stop there – here’s a brief checklist of INCLUDED features.

  • Tell your [boss/department head] that I’ve asked you to do this task for me
  • Tell me when you’ve completed it
  • Create a time sheet entry for the time you spend doing this task
  • If you’re off sick and can’t complete the task, tell one of your colleagues so that they can step in
  • If, for any reason the task is not done by the time stipulated. Tell me, your supervisor and the local recruitment agency that we’re hiring 🙂

Collabor8online allows users to create tasks and assign them to themselves or other team members, the tasks can be recurring, they can have alerts that occur both before (i.e. reminders that the task is becoming due) or alarms in the case of a task not being completed by the due date. Tasks can have any number of files or images attached to them. The person the task is assigned to will receive an e-mail advising them that they’ve been assigned the task, any number of other users can be “copied in” to this instruction. Finally, of course when the task is marked as completed the person who assigned it, will receive an e-mail advising them that the task has been completed.

Collabor8online does everything except actually do the task (we’re working on that one)
