# Task Management: Assign and Track Frontline Field Work

> Create tasks, set due dates, and track completion status in real time across every location — with photo proof and corrective action workflows.

Supa's task management module lets you assign work to individuals or entire teams, set deadlines, and track completion with photo evidence — all from the web dashboard or mobile app. This page explains how to create tasks, configure verification requirements, and use the dashboard to monitor field work across locations.

## Key capabilities

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Task creation">
    Create tasks with a title, description, due date, priority level, and assignee. Attach photos or files to give workers the context they need before they start.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Photo proof on completion">
    Require workers to take a live camera photo when marking a task complete. This gives managers visual confirmation that work was done correctly — no text-only sign-offs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sub-tasks">
    Break complex jobs into ordered steps using sub-tasks. Workers check off each step in sequence, and the parent task only closes when all sub-tasks are complete.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Corrective actions from checklists">
    When a worker fails a checklist item, Supa automatically creates a corrective action task, pre-filled with the failed question, evidence photos, and the relevant location. No manual creation required.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Recurring tasks">
    Set tasks to repeat on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Supa creates each new instance automatically and notifies the assigned worker when it's due.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Status workflow">
    Tasks move through a clear lifecycle: **To Do → In Progress → Done → Verified**. Managers can require a verification step before a task is marked fully closed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Manager verification">
    Enable manager verification to require a manager to review the completion photo and formally approve the task before it closes. This adds a second layer of quality control for high-stakes work.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Push notifications">
    Workers receive a push notification when a task is assigned to them and a reminder when it's approaching or past its due date. Managers are notified when tasks are overdue.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Creating a task

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Tasks">
    Go to **Tasks** in the Supa web dashboard or tap the **Tasks** tab in the mobile app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new task">
    Click or tap **New Task**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the details">
    Set the title, description, assignee, due date, priority, and location. Add any reference photos or files the worker will need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable photo proof if required">
    Toggle **Require photo on completion** to force the worker to take a live camera photo before they can mark the task done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. The task appears in the assignee's mobile app immediately, along with a push notification.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Dashboard view

The task dashboard gives managers a full picture of field work status across the organization:

* **Filter** by location, team, assignee, status, or due date
* **Sort** by priority or overdue status to focus on what needs attention first
* **Drill down** into any task to see completion photos, timestamps, and the full activity log
* **Export** task data to CSV for reporting or compliance records

<Tip>
  Use the **Overdue** filter daily to catch tasks that have slipped past their deadline and reassign or escalate as needed.
</Tip>

<Info>
  Tasks created automatically from failed checklist items include a link back to the original checklist submission, so managers have full context without switching screens.
