Video Tutorial: Modifying Collaborative Tasks

Note: While the video provides an overview of this feature, the steps outlined below are the most up-to-date. Be sure to reference the written guide for the latest instructions.

Editing and Deleting Tasks in the Tasks Tab

Step 1. Open a Task 

Navigate to either the Your Tasks or Assigned By You table in your Tasks tab, then click on the name of the task you want to modify.

Step 2. Adjust Task Details and Save

An Edit Task popup appears, where you can adjust any task details, including its due date. After making changes, click Save to finalize the edits.

Notes: 

• Updating the Add to Calendar toggle saves your preference for future tasks unless you adjust the toggle again.
• If you select a cadence step, you can only adjust its due date. To explore more actions for cadence steps, take a look at our article, Managing Your Cadences.

Step 3: Add an Existing Task to Your Calendar

To add an existing task to your calendar, locate it in either table and click the calendar button found at the far right. An Add to Calendar popup appears where you can choose to add the task to either your Google or Microsoft calendar.

Note: You can add tasks to your calendar if they are assigned to you (either by yourself or by a teammate) or created by you. Consider adding tasks you’ve assigned to your team to support collaboration! 

Select the option matching the calendar your organization uses. A pre-drafted event opens in a new tab with the Task Name, Due Date, and Description (if added) details populated. The event defaults to All day, but you can adjust this and any other details as needed. 

Click Save to finish adding the task to your calendar!

Note: Adjusting an existing task’s details does not automatically update the corresponding calendar event. Re-add the task to your calendar and remove the previous event, or manually edit the calendar event to reflect the updated details!  

Step 4. Delete a Task  

To delete a task, click the trashcan button found at the far right. A Delete Task popup appears, prompting you to confirm that you want to remove the task by clicking Delete. 

Step 5. Take Bulk Action on Tasks

A Select Tasks button at the top of the table allows you to apply actions to multiple tasks at once. Click this button to reveal checkboxes to the left of each task. 

To apply an action in bulk, select the appropriate tasks, then click the Actions button in the upper-right corner and choose one of the following options: 

• Update Due Date
• Mark as Complete
• Mark as Incomplete
• Reassign Tasks
• Delete Tasks 

A confirmation popup appears that summarizes the action you’re about to take. Some actions, such as Update Due Date or Reassign Tasks, require additional input (e.g., selecting a new date or assignee) before saving. 

Notes: 

• Cadence steps cannot be reassigned. If you select only cadence steps, the Reassign Tasks option will be disabled. If you select a combination of cadence steps and tasks, only the tasks will be reassigned. 
• When updating due dates in bulk, you cannot modify multiple steps of the same cadence for the same constituent. This limitation ensures cadence step spacing remains accurate. If you attempt this, a message will prompt you to update only one of the cadence step’s due dates.

Editing and Deleting Tasks in a Constituent Profile

Modifying tasks in a constituent profile follows the same steps as the Tasks tab! Let’s take a look at modifying in this location. 

Step 1. Open a Task

Navigate to a constituent profile's Tasks tab, then click the name of the task you want to modify.

Note: You can only edit tasks assigned to or created by you. Tasks created by others that are not assigned to you can be opened but not edited. 

Step 2. Adjust Task Details and Save

An Edit Task popup appears, where you can adjust any task details, including its due date. After making changes, click Save to finalize the edits.

Notes: 

• Updating the Add to Calendar toggle saves your preference for future tasks unless you adjust the toggle again.
• If you select a cadence step, you can only adjust its due date. To explore more actions for cadence steps, take a look at our article, Managing Your Cadences.

Step 3: Add an Existing Task to Your Calendar

To add an existing task to your calendar, locate it in the table and click the calendar button found at the far right. An Add to Calendar popup appears where you can choose to add the task to either your Google or Microsoft calendar.

Note: You can add tasks to your calendar if they are assigned to you or created by you. The calendar icon is disabled for tasks that do not meet these criteria.

Select the option matching the calendar your organization uses. A pre-drafted event opens in a new tab with the Task Name, Due Date, and Description (if added) details populated. The event defaults to All day, but you can adjust this and any other details as needed. 

Click Save to finish adding the task to your calendar!

Note: Adjusting an existing task’s details does not automatically update the corresponding calendar event. Re-add the task to your calendar and remove the previous event, or manually edit the calendar event to reflect the updated details! 

Step 4. Delete a Task

To delete a task, click the trashcan button found at the far right. A Delete Task popup appears, prompting you to confirm that you want to remove the task by clicking Delete.

Note: You can only delete tasks assigned to you or created by you. The trashcan button is disabled for tasks that do not meet these criteria.

Step 5. Take Bulk Action on Tasks

A Select Tasks button at the top of the table allows you to apply actions to multiple tasks at once. Click this button to reveal checkboxes to the left of tasks assigned to you or created by you. 

To apply an action in bulk, select the appropriate tasks, then click the Actions button near the top-right of the tab and choose one of the following options: 

• Update Due Date
• Mark as Complete
• Mark as Incomplete
• Reassign Tasks
• Delete Tasks 

A confirmation popup appears that summarizes the action you’re about to take. Some actions, such as Update Due Date or Reassign Tasks, require additional input (e.g., selecting a new date or assignee) before saving. 

Notes: 

• Cadence steps cannot be reassigned. If you select only cadence steps, the Reassign Tasks option will be disabled. If you select a combination of cadence steps and tasks, only the tasks will be reassigned. 
• When updating due dates in bulk, you cannot modify multiple steps of the same cadence for the same constituent. This limitation ensures cadence step spacing remains accurate. If you attempt this, a message will prompt you to update only one of the cadence step’s due dates.

Pausing Your Tasks

Taking some time off, or dealing with a busier-than-usual schedule? You can pause cadences so steps don’t become overdue.

Step 1. Click the Actions Button

Navigate to your Tasks tab and click the Actions button in the upper-right corner.

Step 2. Select Settings   

Next, select Settings from the dropdown to open the Pause Cadences and Tasks tab of your Settings page.

Step 3. Set Your Pause

Using the calendar, select the first day you plan to be out of office and the day you plan to return. Click Save to schedule your pause. 

Note: Your return date must be at least one day later than your start date. Single-day pauses are not possible.

Step 3. Review Your Pause

On your pause’s start date, a banner will appear at the top of your Tasks tab and in constituent profile Tasks tabs that indicates your time away. To end a pause early, click Resume Cadences and Tasks on the right side of the banner. To adjust the pause dates, click Edit Pause. 

You can also cancel a pause by returning to the Pause Cadences and Tasks settings tab and clicking Resume Cadences and Tasks. 

When you pause your tasks, their due dates will be rescheduled to accommodate your time away. This logic will be followed for tasks due both during and after your pause window. For example, a task due two days after you start a pause will be due two days after your pause reaches its end. Once you return, your tasks will reactivate starting with those due that day.

Note: If necessary, you can still complete tasks and cadence steps during a pause in your Tasks tab.
