Introduction to Tasks

Overview of the tasks page including categories, filtering, sorting, and managing follow-ups linked to deals.

Tasks in PaintScout are to-do items linked to deals that help you track sales follow-ups, production handoffs, and other job-related actions. Each task automatically connects to the related contact and company.

For repeat workflows, use Checklists. Checklists let you apply a reusable set of tasks to a deal in one step.

Important: this feature requires the paid Operations add-on.

The Tasks Page

The Tasks page gives you a clear overview of everything you and your team need to get done.

Tasks from Checklists will not appear on the Tasks page unless they have a due date.

Task Categories

• Overdue: Tasks that are past their due date. These are highlighted in red for visibility.

• All: A combined view of every task, regardless of status.

When to Use Checklists

Use a checklist when the same set of tasks repeats across deals. This works well for sales handoffs, production kickoff, and closeout steps, or as a list of "to-dos".

Add a checklist on the deal's Tasks tab. Then assign owners and due dates to each task. Learn how to use Checklists.
