Track staff work

Accomplish has four different views you can use to track staff work.

Note that Accomplish displays jobs for the entity you are currently working in. You can use the entity selector at the top of the page to select a specific entity or to view work for all entities.

Before you start, select Accomplish from the Cloud menu to open the app.

Note: You must create a workflow for Working Papers files to track and change their status in Accomplish. See Create workflows for more information.

Overview view

The Overview view allows you to view at a glance any reminders you have set, queries that clients have responded to, and statistics for both jobs assigned to you and jobs associated with the entity you are viewing.

Status view

The Status view displays jobs that are unassigned, open, or stuck.

Open

What it means

Instructions

Jobs that are assigned to a staff member but not yet complete.

You can drag a job from the Unassigned column to the Open column to assign it to yourself.

Stuck

Jobs that are in a stage considered to be "waiting" or "blocked".

For example, queries that clients have not yet responded to are considered to be stuck. Engagements with workflow stages that contain the terms "wait", "block" or "ready", or their French equivalents, are also considered to be stuck. You cannot manually move jobs to the Stuck column.
Unassigned Jobs not assigned to a staff member.

Note: Engagement workflow stages are displayed in either French or English depending on the language the engagement is set to use.

If you have selected to include completed jobs in the filters pane, a fourth column displaying completed jobs also appears in this view. Jobs are automatically moved to this column when they reach their last workflow stage. You can also manually drag jobs to this column to mark them complete.

Due Date view

The Due Date view displays jobs in columns based on their due date. You can drag jobs to a different column to change the due date.

Once you drag a job to a new column, the Set Due Date dialog displays. You can use the calendar to specify the new date.

Set due date.

Jobs without a due date are displayed in the No Due Date column. We recommend setting due dates for all jobs to ensure you can make optimal use of the Due Date view.

People view

The People view displays jobs based on the assignee. This allows you to easily ensure work is distributed evenly among your staff members. You can drag jobs to a different column to assign them job to a different staff member.
