A new task can be added to the Jim2 Schedule in a few different ways.

Task types cannot be edited as they have encoded relationships (eg. job is related to job, etc.). These relationships are limited and fixed with the code base, and also affect the behaviour of the task (eg. editing a job task will lock the job). |

At the top of the Jim2 screen is a group of shortcut icons. Click the Task icon and make a choice from the drop down list.
A New Schedule Task screen will open, with the Task Type being whichever task was chosen from the drop down list (Job, Phone Call, Int. Meeting or Ext. Meeting) but select another type within this screen. The Date and Time will default to now, so change these if necessary. Fill in any other details and click Add Task. |
Some objects in Jim2 have a Notes tab at the bottom of the form. These include Project, CardFile, Item, Creditor and debtor forms.
To create a task from one of these Notes tabs, follow the procedure outlined in Adding Tasks From Notes.
