What this guide helps you do

Break work into verifiable steps and keep supporting files with the task. Pixie CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to Task → Checklist / Attachments and select the relevant record or setup list.
  2. Use search, filters or status tabs to confirm you are working on the intended item.
  3. Check linked records, activity and permissions before changing status, ownership or visibility.
  4. Use the available edit, status, reorder, attach, copy or delete action as required.
  5. Complete any confirmation dialog carefully; destructive actions may be restricted when linked data exists.
  6. Check the updated state in the list and record view.
  7. Check downstream client portal, reporting or automation effects where applicable.

Checks before you finish

  • Use one clear outcome per task.
  • Set realistic dates.
  • Stop active timers before changing ownership or completing work.
  • Check whether the result should be visible to a customer contact or only to staff.
  • Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification before leaving the record.
Permission and data safetyDeletion, refunds, signature clearing, module changes, payment configuration and privacy actions can affect linked records or legal history. Use the least destructive action available and follow your organisation’s approval process.
