This article is part of Task Management and covers Guides.

Task Guides are made up of user-created tasks and task groups. When building a Guide, users will create and customize individual tasks, group them into task groupings, and then assign the guide to a location. These tasks will then be listed as tasks to complete on the My Tasks page for the assigned locations. 

From the Guides page, users can also configure Task Management settings, including managing requests and tags. 

This article covers the following:

• Navigation 
• Guides Page 
• Creating a New Guide
• Task Management Settings

Note: Task Management is an add-on to Operations. Please contact your Sales Representative to learn how the Task Management add-on can enhance your R365 experience.
