# Creating and Managing Tasks in EnrollNow

EnrollNow’s Tasks feature helps research teams stay organized by tracking to-do items related to participants, recruitment activities, and general study operations. Tasks support accountability, timely follow-up, and consistent workflows across the study team.

### What Is a Task?

A Task is a to-do item that can be created for staff members in EnrollNow. Tasks can be assigned to one or more users, given a due date, and updated as work progresses.

Tasks are commonly used for administrative, recruitment, or participant follow-up activities, such as:

- Preparing forms
- Confirming participant appointments
- Following up with referral sources
- Shipping study materials
- Printing flyers or study handouts
- Ordering supplies or participant incentives

### Types of Tasks

There are four types of tasks available from the **Tasks** tab in EnrollNow:

| Task Type | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Recruitment Site Tasks** | Linked to a specific recruitment site | Follow up with Dr. Ross at Hospital A about referrals |
| **Recruitment Strategy Tasks** | Linked to a specific recruitment strategy | Print more flyers for campus outreach |
| **Participant Tasks** | Linked directly to an individual participant | Call John Deere to reschedule the Baseline Visit |
| **Miscellaneous Tasks** | General study-related tasks not tied to recruitment or participants | Order more study gift cards |

Tasks can be created from a participant profile or from the main Tasks section.

### Option 1: Create a Task from a Participant Profile

Use this option when the task is related to a specific participant.

1. Navigate to the participant’s profile card.
2. Click the **Tasks** tab.
3. Click **+ Add Task**.
4. Enter the task details: 
     - **Title**: Required field used to name the task.
     - **Participant**: Automatically populated when creating the task from the participant profile.
     - **Status**: Select the task status, such as Assigned, Unassigned, In Progress, or Completed.
     - **Due Date**: Optional, but recommended.
     - **Assigned To**: Select one or more team members.
     - **Description**: Add a brief summary of the task.
5. Click **Save Task**.

Tasks created from a participant profile are automatically linked to that participant.

### **Task Notifications**

If you have Task notifications enabled in your **My Account** settings, you'll receive an email notification whenever another team member assigns a task to you. However if you assign yourself a task, an email is not generated.  Additionally, if you have **Daily Digest** enabled, you'll receive a daily summary email that includes your upcoming and overdue tasks.

#### **Permissions and Access**

Only users with the appropriate permissions can create, edit, or assign tasks. If you don’t see these options, please contact your EnrollNow administrator to review your role settings.

If you have any questions or need assistance managing tasks, don’t hesitate to contact EnrollNow Support at help@enrollnow.io.
