What this solution does
When the volume of tasks is large, managing deadlines becomes critical. The "Fusion: Deferred Task Start" module allows the Assigner to reschedule both the date and specific time of a task's start for the Responsible party. This capability extends beyond simple date changes to precise time setting, ensuring all participants have an accurate view of the task timeline.
How it works
The module adds a "Defer to" button within the Task interface (in the "Tasks and Projects" block). Clicking this button opens a calendar and time picker to set the exact start time for the task.
Advantages over standard functionality
In the standard functionality, creating a task with a delayed start required manually pausing it and then resuming it on the target date. The Fusion: Deferred Task Launch module allows setting the start date and time immediately upon creation. The task automatically appears in the responsible person's Calendar, Kanban board, and Gantt chart at the specified time without any additional actions from the task creator.
The module helps managers control deadlines more accurately and determine the priority of tasks for their subordinates.
For employees acting as task creators, it simplifies planning and setting the start date when rescheduling tasks to a later time.
The 'Fusion: Deferred Task Launch' module solves the problem of tasks being lost due to incorrect display. Without it, deferred tasks do not appear in the Kanban board, and the responsible person cannot see the exact deadlines for their implementation. With this module, the set date automatically appears in the calendar, reducing the risk of missing the task to nearly zero. The responsible person always sees the exact time when work on the task must begin.
The functionality allows control over the start of tasks scheduled for the future. The execution deadline can be set immediately upon creating the task. The task creation date and the start date of its implementation can differ by any time period.
The solution eliminates the need to spend significant time planning task order and conducting internal approvals to change the start dates of task execution.
