    Hi Jon, isnt this the task list in the top right hand corner of SchemeServe? Maybe you could elaborate here?

    Hi John,

     

    Essentially my idea is a dashboard type area in schemeserve which acts like a task manager. It's a go to area for ALL case notes which would be shown in date order with oldest first. The system will show a summary of the case note along with the link to the case and a button for completed tasks. Once the case note has been actioned, the completed task button is presses and it is then removed from the list.

     

    This allows a user to stay within the schemeserve environment at all times and stops problem where case notes could be missed.

    I think you may be onto something interesting here Jon.   So the current workflow is something like:

    1. Receive email from SchemeServe containing a note created by one of your Agents (typically a question or instruction to go On Cover or similar).
    2. Click the link in the email to jump to the Notes tab of the Case.
    3. Perform the action required if any.
    4. Go back to Notes to answer.
    5. --- Have a break to go to lunch, fish and chips maybe. ---
    6. Come back, look at your inbox, can't remember if you've actioned that email.
    7. After finding that the email was actioned in SchemeServe, delete/archive the email so you know it's done.

    Something like that?

    And the idea is... no more email inbox... do everything in SchemeServe from a central Communication area where Tasks or Notifications of some kind are automatically created in addition to the Note needing a reply, so you can tick them completed once the communication/action has been completed, never missing a thing.  Emails could be sent to your inbox just to let you know to visit the Communication centre.

    Right?

    Perfectly correct.

     

    This would create a better workflow. In my office 4 people get all the emails but are in and out of the office at different times of the day so there is sometimes a duplication of work which this will avoid.

     

    You could even go one step further and build a better more usable diary system as part of it.

     

    I think you should pencil this one in as the next feature.

    No promises but this one has generated quite a bit of discussion internally. :)
