A completed Task, which is indicated by the checkmark symbol on the Task Chart, means a Task that your child has completed and turned over to you for grading. You will need to grade how well your child completed this Task before they receive the Handipoints and Bonus Points for their effort. A graded Task is a Task that has already been evaluated, and the points for it have already gone into your child’s account.

You create an account to represent a company or organization with whom you do business. Contacts are employees of accounts. For an account, you create a Project which is a collection of tasks. A work item is linked to a task and project, and summarizes the work done by an employee to resolve a task. A task assignment indicates who will perform the task and when.

We suggest you create an internal account, project and task to track miscellaneous items that employees might do to improve your work environment, or client situation. Many times employees get asked to do things outside of their specific assignments. These tasks can sometimes be billed as additional revenue with a client, or can be tied back to an internal need or group. Allowing employees to enter these items helps you track your real costs, and assess larger issue trends.
