We are trying to get our whole firm utilising the “tasks” function as a “to-do” list, to delegate work and act as “bring ups”.
Many of my colleagues have used emails for these functions for 5, 10, 15+ years. So there have been some grievances raised with transitioning to Smokeball Tasks for these specific things.
Primarily issues relate to:
- Alerts/notifications for new tasks only showing in Smokeball (so can be missed if you do not have smokeball open on screen); and
- Needing to individually clear each notification for a new task/event in the “Notifications & Reminders” section (i.e., a “clear all” option would be helpful for when there is a back log).
Other than updated Smokeball features, does anyone have any tips to overcome these grievances?
