Create general tasks for your clients to : inform your clients them of outstanding information that you need , or remind them of activities that they have to do. You can also attach any documents, if you need to. When you create a general task, your client will be notified by email that there's a task waiting for them to action. Prerequisites to creating tasksYou can create tasks for a client in MYOB Practice Online if: - you use MYOB Accountants Office or MYOB Accountants Enterprise
- have set up a portal for the client
- have linked the client to their business (only required if creating tasks from the Accounting dashboard).
How to create a general taskYou can create tasks in Practice Online: - from the Tasks page, or
- when selecting clients on the Accounting dashboard.
An advantage of creating tasks from the Accounting dashboard is that you can assign the same task to multiple clients in one go. For example, you would create a bulk task if you want to send several clients a practice bulletin, or a generic checklist of information and documents you'll need from them for their next tax return. The task will be assigned to all "full access users" of the client portals. | ui-expand |
