What is Task Management?
Task Management Definition and Use Cases
Task management refers to the process of managing a task through its life cycle. Generally speaking, the use cases for task management are as follows:
- Restocking supplies – pens, ink cartridges, paper, printer toner
- Conference room clean up or set up
- Cleaning – kitchen, bathroom, office
- Sweeps – mail, maintenance, packages, print jobs
- Repairs
Understanding SCLogic’s Task Management Workflow
The following Intra Task Management workflow is one example of how an organization might use the Intra platform to streamline and prioritize web requests, dispatch service workers, confirm request completions, and measure productivity.
- Create Request – The user logs into the Client Services Portal (CSP) using a web browser and creates a new request. The user then selects the contact from a dynamic recipient list and the location and facility information is auto-filled based on their selection.
- Receipt & Notification – A printable receipt is generated for the request, an email notification is sent to the requestor and facilities manager, and the request is added to the manager’s work schedule via the CSP fulfillment screen.
- Assign – In the CSP, a request can automatically be assigned to a service team member or manually approved and assigned by a manager.
- Complete – the service team member completes the job, changes the status of the request to complete on the mobile device or within the CSP, and an email notification is sent to the requestor.

- Time to complete task
- SLAs
- Exceptions
- Conference room reset the benchmark
