The task list page is where you can see all tasks that are assigned to you.
There can be more than one task assigned to you.
Each task is displayed as a tile with their location pinned on the map, with the project and stage name, followed by task name (big and bold), as well as the Due date.
The Tasks will appear in order of their Due dates so you will always know what to prioritise.

Using the Search box, you can search by:
Project name
Project number
Phase name
Stage name
Task name
A combination of the above
Partial matches will be found (ie. Project number MEL01012023 will be found searching 2023, or MEL01)
It is recommended that you refine your search so that you don't reach the limit (names are often duplicated across many projects). The search results are limited to 20 results.
Tips and Notes!
If you do not see a task you know is assigned to you, check the Due date on the task in Synergy.
You can click on the Map to have it up on your mobile device's default map application (ie. Google Maps, Apple Maps).
