The chapter Tasks contains the following subchapters:

 

Access the task calendar by clicking on one of the views (monthly/weekly/daily view) in the main menu at the top left. New tasks can be created here and the all tasks to be completed can be viewed, rescheduled, changed or marked as completed. Maintaining the task calendar well can be a success factor! Accessed on a smartphone in the field or in the propagation greenhouse, all employees always have the assigned tasks with all the information with them, can look up cultivation details and notes, log them and record the task time. Once the work is done, they can mark the task as “completed”.

 

Click (bottom right) on +Create new task to create a new task. In the monthly and weekly view, you can also simply click on a free space in a day view to create a new task.

The search field and the filter (click on the funnel symbol to open the task filter) allow you to filter the tasks in the calendar.

Tasks from the crop: The tasks sowing or direct sowing and planting are automatically added to each planned set by the program when the set is created, as are all tasks transferred from the crop via task templates.
Tasks planned on the “Tasks” tab of the set or field are also transferred to the task calendar.
Tasks that are not assigned to the block or field can be created directly in the task calendar.
Selection of the displayed year: For the task calendar views, use the year switcher from the navigation bar at the top.
Views (month, weeks, days) The task calendar contains a clear monthly view and a more detailed weekly or daily view. In the weekly view, a calendar export of the daily and weekly overview can be created for printing.

The months can be changed by clicking on the arrows as with the year changeover and also by clicking on the month name and selecting a different month from the drop-down menu.
The table contains the calendar weeks (rows) and days (columns).

 

Tasks in the monthly view are outlined in color. Tasks assigned to a person have the name in brackets after the task name. If several people have been assigned to a task, the first person selected always appears in brackets.
Serial tasks: A file symbol on the left identifies the task as part of a series.
Completed tasks: Tasks marked as completed are displayed in a paler color and marked with a green tick on the left.
A day field can only display a certain number of tasks in the monthly view. To see the remaining tasks, click on “…more…” below the tasks, which opens the day view with all tasks for the day.

All tasks for each day of the selected calendar week are displayed here one below the other. You can switch back and forth between the weeks using the week selection (top left).

Calendar export: Click on “Wochenexport.xlsx” to create an Excel file of the calendar week view. This can be printed from Excel. All information relating to the task is displayed in the export file: Name of the task, employee*, number of plants, bed meters, notes, and much more.

 

Tasks that are not assigned to a record (e.g. “Bake cookies” or “Call Günther”) show the name of the task and, if applicable, a responsible employee. If there are several employees, the main person responsible is always displayed with an avatar; other assigned employees can also be displayed by clicking on […more].
If culture information is also displayed, the task in the weekly view is linked to the sentence or key phrase shown in green.

Show only certain tasks, only open or already completed tasks, only/no cultivation dates or filter by type of task (e.g. only fertilization). You can also display only the tasks assigned to you personally or those of an employee.
