Task Management

FastQuery’s task management system keeps your team organized and on track. Whether it’s restocking shelves, counting inventory, or completing daily checklists, tasks help everyone know what needs to be done and when.

What You Can Do with Tasks

Section titled “What You Can Do with Tasks”
  • Create tasks for any kind of work and assign them to team members — from the app, web, or by asking the AI assistant in chat
  • Track progress with checklists, status updates, and activity logs
  • Set priorities so the most important work gets done first
  • Add due dates and receive automatic reminders before deadlines
  • Attach photos and files to give your team the context they need

Task Types

Section titled “Task Types”

FastQuery supports two types of tasks:

Ad-Hoc Tasks

Section titled “Ad-Hoc Tasks”

General-purpose tasks for everyday work. Use these for things like restocking a display, fixing a price tag, following up with a vendor, or completing a store walkthrough.

Counting Tasks

Section titled “Counting Tasks”

Specialized tasks for inventory cycle counts. These include a list of products with expected quantities and a built-in barcode scanner for fast, accurate counting. See Counting Tasks for details.

Priority Levels

Section titled “Priority Levels”

Every task has a priority level to help your team focus on what matters most:

  • High — Urgent work that needs immediate attention
  • Medium — Important but not time-sensitive
  • Low — Can be done when time allows

Viewing Your Tasks

Section titled “Viewing Your Tasks”

Tasks are organized into tabs so you can quickly find what you need:

  • My Tasks — Tasks assigned to you
  • New Tasks — Unassigned tasks waiting to be picked up
  • Taken — Tasks assigned to other team members
  • Completed — Finished tasks

Activity Log

Section titled “Activity Log”

Every change to a task is recorded in the activity log. You can see exactly who did what and when, so nothing gets lost or forgotten.

Where to Access Tasks

Section titled “Where to Access Tasks”

Tasks are available on both the mobile app and the web app, so your team can stay on top of their work whether they’re on the floor or at a desk.
