    Channel method

    Description

    Internal message

    Send the task to users or user groups within the same organization, regardless of their workspace. You can select multiple recipients.image.png

    When you issue an internal message task, recipients receive a pending task on the Quick BI message notification page:image.png

    Email

    Send the task by email to multiple users and user groups within the same organization.image.png

    Custom channel

    Send the task through a custom channel. For more information about how to create one, see Custom channel.

Schedule settings

  • Scheduled delivery

    • When you enable this option, the system issues the data entry task on your schedule. You can configure it as a one-time task or a recurring task that repeats on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

    • A one-time task runs only once. Configure the first dispatch time and publish the task. For example, if you set the first dispatch time to 15:30:59 on July 20, 2023, the task is pushed only at that time.

    • A daily task runs every day at the specified time. For example, if the first dispatch time is 15:30:59 on July 20, 2023, the system pushes the first task at that time and the next one at 15:30:59 on July 21, 2023. This continues until the schedule ends. Each push creates a new to-do item.

    • A weekly task runs every week on the same day and time. For example, if the first dispatch time is 15:30:59 on July 20, 2023, the system pushes the first task at that time and the next one at 15:30:59 on July 27, 2023. This continues until the schedule ends. Each push creates a new to-do item.

    • The push logic for hourly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly tasks follows the same pattern.

    • A Custom Period lets you issue tasks at a specified interval. Set the first dispatch time and an end time, and the schedule repeats automatically within this period.image.png

  • Submission deadline

    • Disabled by default. When enabled, the data entry task ends at the specified deadline.

    • If the dispatch schedule is a one-time task, enter the deadline.image.png

    • For recurring tasks, set a relative deadline that requires submission within a certain period after each task is issued:image.png

Task delivery

The following example uses internal messages:

  • After you select internal message as the channel method, configure the schedule settings, and confirm the task, recipients can click the image.png icon in the upper-right corner and find a corresponding to-do item on the To be submitted page.image

  • If you have already submitted the data through another entry point, such as Favorites or an email notification, click Ignore to dismiss the reminder.image.png

  • Click Submit Now to go to the data entry page, where you can add, edit, or delete data.image.png

  • In the Details view, you can see the to-do type, deadline, initiator, and submission status. Click Go to submit to navigate to the spreadsheet submission page.image.png
