Update a Task template

• If assigned to a study, task templates are locked and can't be edited.
• To unlock a task template, either remove the template from your study in the study settings or archive the study once complete. If a task template is removed from a study, all future tasks (beyond the current day) relating to the template will be deleted. Previous tasks will remain.
• If a template is unlocked you can edit the content by clicking on the template name within the Task management feature.

Update tasks

• After assigning a task template to your study, tasks will automatically be generated on the appropriate dates.
• Click on the task to update the assignee and task status.
• If the task is conditional, a list of animals meeting the condition will be displayed.

• If you need to create tasks on an individual basis, this can be done by clicking the Add task button on the top right of the Tasks screen.
• Select the applicable study, enter the task description and select the completion date to create the task.
