Task Management Tips

  • Break investigations into clear steps. Instead of one task that says "Investigate," create specific tasks like "Interview witness A," "Review security footage," "Document findings."
  • Use due dates proactively. Setting due dates helps your team stay on track and ensures investigations move forward in a timely manner.
  • Update status as you go. Moving tasks from Open to In Progress to Complete gives the whole team visibility into investigation progress.
  • Use comments for documentation. Task comments create a record of actions taken for each investigation step.

Key Takeaways

Tasks turn your investigation into a structured checklist. Create tasks with clear owners and due dates, update status as work progresses, and use comments to document each step. For a full overview of case management, see the Case Manager Dashboard Guide.
