> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/communications/tasks.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

`Tasks` in the sidebar lists the tasks assigned to you. Some you create yourself; others Backed
raises, for example when a decision or a contract needs your review. `My Tasks` on the Dashboard
shows your outstanding ones. A task's note shows under its title there, so a `New Conflict of
Interest` task names the Application and the reason the assessor gave.

## The task list

Each task shows its `Title`, the `Record` it is about, who it is `Assigned to`, its `Priority`, when
it is `Due` and its `Status`: `Outstanding`, `Overdue` or `Completed`. Search task titles, or filter
the list.

## Create a task

1. Go to `Tasks` and select `Create Task`.
2. Enter the `Title` and any `Notes`.
3. Choose the `Priority` (`Low`, `Medium` or `High`) and the `Due Date`.
4. Choose who it is `Assigned to`. Without the permission to assign tasks to others, you can assign
   tasks to yourself only.
5. Select `Save`.

You can also create a task from an internal comment. See
[Internal comments](internal-comments.md).

## Work through your tasks

- `Complete` marks a task done. `Reopen` brings it back.
- `Edit` changes a task you created. A task raised by the system can only change its status.
- Open the task's record to do the work it is about.
