Checklists


The Checklists module provides an efficient way to create templates for recurring tasks. It allows users to run repetitive processes, assign them to team members, track the time spent on each task, and monitor completion progress.

You can enable or disable time tracking for checklists by toggling the switch in the configuration settings. When enabled, the gear icon gives access to the Checklists time tracking settings.

File types in this module are displayed in four columns:

  • Name – The name of the file type.
  • Entity Type – The module or entity the file type belongs to.
  • File Types – The file format (e.g., PDF, JPG).
  • Max Size – The maximum file size allowed (in MB).

The action icon at the end of each row allows you to edit file type settings or restore them to defaults.
