Add and review tasks for your team

You can add tasks so your team always knows what work needs to get done and when. Some features automatically create and assign tasks. You can create custom tasks for anything, even related work outside of the app.

Track your work tasks and streamline your business with QuickBooks Online Advanced.

Review open tasks

All tasks appear in the Tasks 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, the app adds a note for the reviewer in the Tasks menu.

To review open tasks, go to 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 the vertical ellipses and then Mark as complete.

Tip: You can also select the dropdowns above the list to filter it and see completed tasks.
