Add and review tasks for your team in the Task menu

Learn how to create and review tasks in QuickBooks Online Advanced. This feature is currently in beta.

In QuickBooks Online Advanced, you can add tasks so your team always knows what work needs to get done and when.

Review open tasks

All tasks appear in the Task menu so your team can manage everything in one place. Each time a feature or workflow creates a task, it shows up here. Or if a team member creates an invoice that needs approval, QuickBooks adds a note for the reviewer in the Task menu.

To review open tasks, go to Get things done and select the Tasks menu. You'll see what needs to be done and who owns each task.

• For invoice approval tasks, the reviewer can select the invoice to get more details. Then select Approve or Deny.
• For custom tasks, the task owner just needs to follow whatever steps you put in the note. When they finish the task, select Mark as complete.

Tip: You can also select the tabs above the list to see all your active and completed tasks. Use the Filters to create a custom view for your tasks by combining all sorts of criteria, like its due date, task type and who it’s assigned to.

Create a custom task

Create tasks for anything: reminders to call a customer or notes to help your team follow up with a sale.

1. Go to the Tasks menu.
2. Select +Add task.
3. Enter the task name and set the due date.
4. In the Assign to dropdown, select the task owner. Note: The user needs to have admin access.
5. (Optional) If you’d like the task to repeat, turn on Recurring task. You then have the option to set the task to repeat on certain days of the week, month or year. Choose the option that works best for you.
   Tip: To change/delete a recurring task, select Edit recurring task or Delete recurring task.
6. In the Notes field, enter a description. These are the instructions for the task.
7. To upload a file, select Upload document.
   Note: Documents uploaded here are visible to all users of your company. Or, select Select document to fetch files that are already in QuickBooks.

After you create the task, QuickBooks emails a notification to the task owner.
