Tasks

The Tasks snap-in in JustWare is used to record and track specific tasks related to a name or case record. Tasks can include running a criminal history on someone, preparing a case folder, printing a label, notifying a witness, etc.

Tasks can be linked to each other as well as to other events, correspondences, or documents to easily keep track of all events on a case and show a hierarchal relationship between them.

Email or pop-up reminders can be set to remind specific task-involved people of a task.

Creating a Task Record

  1. Click the Tasks snap-in in any open session.
  2. Add a new record.

  3. Enter all relevant data for each available field. Not all fields are required. Contact your JustWare Administrator to learn what fields are required for your organization.
