Time and Date Tasks

Go to the media page and click “Add task” link. Then you have to choose a type from the list:

By choosing to add a date and time task, you first need to set a question for your team to respond to, such as “When did this event occur?”. In order to resolve this task, users need to set a date from a calendar pop up and optionally add a time with a timezone. An additional clarifying free text note can be optionally added too.

After resolving a task, users can click on the time in the log and completed task response to open time.is in a separate tab and see the time in their local time zone.

Geolocation Tasks

Go to the media page and click “Add task” link. hen you have to choose a type from the list:

By choosing to add a location task, you first need to set a question for your team to answer, such as “Where did this event occur?”.

They can also paste in standard geocoordinates from tools like Google Maps and Open Street Maps.
