Let’s assume, you are adding a calendar event on the Calendar page and while you are adding the event, you wish to add a task for any of your team members , you need not navigate out of the page.

You can simply, click on the “Add Tasks” link (just left to the “Quickies” link). Assign the task to your team member by selecting the required project and task list from this Add Tasks window.

Similarly, you can add & assign tasks from all the pages of your DeskAway account.

By using this feature it will save lot of time of navigating from one page to another to add a tasks.

You are researching some stuff on a project and the next thing you know is that article might benefit the entire team. Instead of emailing it out to everyone (remembering the email addresses of everyone in your team can be a pain) you can simply use the Blog feature. A blog post on your DeskAway account can be seen by everyone in your team - a perfect place to put up article links, news, announcements, fun stuff, ideas, messages etc.

Sometimes, we may have projects that have similar tasks e.g. maintaining social media campaigns for 15 clients. Besides creating a template (to save time when creating new projects) you can also copy tasks from one project to another.

Use the “Copy” link beneath each task and then select the project you want to copy it to.

Oh, and by the way, task copying is completely permission-based so that you can only copy tasks to projects that you are assigned to.

Some tasks are things that get completed once. Others need to be done again and again - for example, taking a backup of your computer.

In DeskAway, you can set this task as ‘recurring’ so that the system remembers that the task needs to be performed again daily, monthly, quarterly or yearly.

On doing so, a new task of the same name & description will be automatically created on completion of the parent task with a new deadline.

Don’t you wish you could just log on to your DeskAway account and instantly go to the task page of your new marketing project? Well, with the ‘Make this page my starting page’ option this is possible - in fact, you can make any page within your DeskAway account your starting page with just one click - go to any page, scroll down and click on the link you see in the image below:

The next time you log in you will be taken straight to this page. Save some clicks and time.

You can also reset this setting by clicking on Default link from the footer of any page.
