To-Do Lists

To-Do Lists

To-Do Lists Overview

A To-Do List is a structured task list sent by the company. Although a To-Do List may look like a standard message in appearance, its primary purpose is to provide employees with actionable instructions rather than general updates or communication.

Each item on the list usually includes a description of the task, relevant deadlines, and any necessary links or documents required for completion.

Unlike regular messages, which are intended for sharing information or facilitating discussion, the To-Do List is specifically designed to assign responsibilities and track progress on work-related activities.

This article provides information on all functions of the "To-Do Lists" module.

                                                  Figure 3.1.2
  1. Manual: A general or custom task that requires the employee to perform something manually without system automation. For example: "Check endcap display," "Clean stockroom," "Follow up with a customer," "Verify pricing," etc. The task is informational - it requires human action, with no printing or scanning involved.

  2. Print Labels: A task instructing the employee to print a product label from the POS. For example: Print new price labels for clearance items or for replacing missing shelf tags. This To-Do task integrates with a label printer; the system may generate labels based on product or pricing updates.
