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:

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