Send New Task to Task Inbox

The Task Inbox feature is a messaging system built into the Office Accelerator phone book that works in conjunction with the Office Accelerator calendar.  When used in a multi-user environment, the Task Inbox is used to manage messages sent and received.  All messages sent to the Task Inbox will also appear as a Task in the message recipient's Office Accelerator calendar and will continue to roll over each day until marked as complete.  In addition, if a task inbox message is linked to a contact, the task will appear as an Action Item on the linked contact located on the Personal Dashboard within the |Action| tab.  To send a contact to the Task Inbox, follow the directions below.

1. Search for the contact you would like to send to a user's task inbox.

2. From the Tools menu select |Task Inbox|Send Contact to Task Inbox|.

   You can also click the |Send the Contact as a Task Inbox Message| tool bar button on the Main Tool Bar.

   

3. From the dialog box entitled |Send to Task Inbox|, enter a subject and/or comment, select the message recipient from the |Send To| section, and click the |Send| button.

   

4. The recipient of your message will receive a popup notification that a message has arrived.  The message recipient can then decide to open and/or dismiss the message.

   

5. The recipient will also have a new |Task To Do Item| created within there calendar.  This item will continue to roll over to the next day until marked as complete.

   

   To denote a task as complete, right click the task in the calendar and select |Mark as Completed Today (Done)|.
