You can create a "bulk task" from the Accounting dashboard Transaction processing page when you want to send several clients a generic checklist of information and documents you'll need for their next tax return. The task will be assigned to all full access users of the client portals.
Click Accounting Transaction Processing in the sidebar (if you're using the new navigation, click Transaction processing in the top menu bar).
Select all the clients you want to assign the same task to.
Remember that the clients must be linked to their files, and already have client portals.
Click Create task.
In the Create tasks page that appears, enter a Task name. This will be the subject of the email that is sent to your clients. It will also be the title that appears on your Tasks page and the Tasks page in your clients' portals.
- Enter a Description. This will be the body of the email to your clients giving them more details concerning the task.
Enter or select the Due date for the general task to be completed. Enter a date in dd/mm/yyyy format or click the calendar icon to select a due date for the general task to be completed.
