Tasks help track work items you would like to remind yourself (or another user) to complete. A task can be assigned to a specific user and attached to a record (e.g., appointment, encounter, patient, or payment).

You always begin with finding the task before creating, editing, or deleting a task. 

Find Task

  1. On the top menu bar, click Tasks & Messages > Find Tasks. The Find Task window opens.
    Tip_Icon.pngTip: For faster navigation, click Tasks under the Navigation Shortcuts or press F12 on your keyboard.
  2. In the search bar, enter all or part of a keyword of the task. If necessary, filter by Record type, Type of task, Assigned To or Due Date. Then, click Find Now. The search results are listed.
    • To search all tasks, set filters to Assigned To: AnybodyDue Date: All, Record and Type: Any (by default).
