Managing Tasks From the Event Record

📆 Revision Date:

Overview: Managing Tasks from the Event Record

The Task Management feature within the Event Record enables Event Owners to efficiently assign and track tasks related to a specific event or company. This functionality allows you to delegate responsibilities to key team members—such as event coordinators, catering staff, or group administrators—ensuring that every detail is handled within a centralized, event-specific workflow.

By managing tasks directly from the Event Record, teams can improve communication, stay organized, and maintain accountability throughout the event planning and execution process.

Navigate to Home > Event Management

EventKey Dashboard (Home Screen)

To begin, navigate to the Dashboard and use the Search box to locate the event.

Enter the full or partial Event Name into the search field. The system will display a list of matching events, or, if there is an exact match, it will appear directly.

Once you’ve identified the correct event, simply click on the event name to open it.

Viewing and Filtering Tasks

When you open the Tasks section on the Event Record, you will see a list of all tasks that fall within the From and To date range.

Date Range (From / To)

  • By default, the From Date and To Date are set to match the event’s Start and End dates.

  • To view tasks outside of this default range, click on either date field to open the Date Picker and select a new date range.

Example:
If your event is on March 14, 2025, but a task is scheduled for February 12, 2025, you’ll need to adjust the From Date to start earlier in order to see the task in the list.

Filtering Tasks

To help manage events with multiple tasks, use the available filters to narrow your results:

  • Assignee – Filter by the person responsible for the task

  • Status – Filter by task status (e.g., All, Closed or Open)

  • Task Type – Filter by the category or type of task

These filters make it easier to locate specific tasks and streamline task management for your event.
