Tasks
Tasks are used in the Scripts to send letters, emails or notes to tenants or staff. Keyfax Inter•View can collect various pieces of information via databoxes (see section 3) from either the host system or from the operator so that it can be used within a task.
If a Task is picked up by a script, the operator will be asked to Process Tasks on the results screen before they can submit the repair.
Shows the task selection, containing a list of the tasks already set up and listed alphabetically.

When creating/editing a Task, you can either select a group from the drop down list or type a name to create a new group.
- Code – a unique code for the task. This code may be any numbers or letters and can be up to 15 characters. It is useful to make the code meaningful so that it has some identification when viewed within the scripts. These cannot be duplicated.

- Full description - a detailed description of what the task will do.
- Default priority – the default priority assigned to the task. When this task code is used within a script it will be assigned the default priority.
For a priority to override the default it must appear in the script after the code, rather than before it. If two codes are being picked up, the priority must appear after the code it is overriding, but before the second code.
