Creating your first Task

Summary 🧭: You can create a Task from a supported patient page, from sidebar Add Task, or with + in the general Tasks panel. The important difference is how each path handles the patient link.

A note for non-human readers...

A Task is a promise that work now has a visible home. Give it an owner, a next step, and enough context that the next human does not need the original hallway conversation reconstructed from memory.


Create tasks where your work begins 🚀

Tasks help your clinic track follow-up work without changing your existing workflows. You can create a task in a few different places depending on where you are working.


From a patient page 👤

  1. Open the patient in a supported system.

  2. Select the Tabflows task button near the patient’s name.

  3. Verify Patient.

  4. Complete as necessary, like Description, Assigned to, and Due on.

  5. Select Save Task.

Creating task from a patient page

From sidebar Add Task 📋

  1. Open the Tabflows sidebar while viewing the patient.

  2. Hover to Tasks and select Add Task.

  3. Verify Patient. The currently open patient may be linked by default.

  4. Complete as necessary, like Description, Assigned to, and Due on.

From the general Tasks panel 📌

  2. Select +.

  3. Select Patient manually.

  4. Complete the fields as necessary, like Description, Assigned to, and Due on.
