Good morning everyone! We have a major update to the Business License Module out today. While things won't appear too different in the app, we have two new exciting abilities for licenses: Tasks and Fees. Today we'll look at tasks:

Tasks

In many localities, before a license is issued, one or more items need to be checked: zoning, fitness of the building, etc. With tasks, you can manage these in GovPossible. With a task enabled, the license won't be available to issue until the tasks are completed.

Tasks are built by license type, so if you have some licenses that don't need them, you can skip the step! Once you have a task enabled for a license type and that type is chosen for a business, you'll see a new 'Task' step added:

When you're at that step, you'll see the tasks available to you. Click on the task to add it to the license you're working on:

Now, once you check out, you'll only issue a receipt. The task can automatically assign itself to a designated person or email a group. It can also lead to other tasks if you have a multi-step process. If they're assigned to you, you'll get and email and they'll also show up on your page at login:

Once any assigned tasks are either close out or completed, the person who issued the task will get an email letting them know the task is complete. When all tasks are completed, the application will then be ready to be issued and you can click on the 'Convert to License' button to complete the process:

If you're interested in adding tasks, just shoot me an e-mail or put in a request via our chat widget and we'll work with you to get them setup!

Best,

Karl
