Managing Tasks from the Informal Assessment or Job Readiness page As you are completing the informal assessment, WWP allows you to add tasks to keep track of action items for both you and the participant. The following pages of the informal assessment allow you to add tasks: Transportation Housing Legal Issues Child and Youth Supports Family Barriers Non-Custodial Parents Additionally, the Job Readiness page allows you to add tasks. The “Action Needed” section of each page includes a list of suggestion action items that are customized for that particular page. You also have the option to add a custom task under the label “Other”. An example from the “Housing” page is shown below: To add a new task, click the “+” next to the type of action item you want to select: To add additional details about the task, click the pencil icon to edit: To delete a task, click the trash can icon: To indicate that no action is needed for this participant, check the box next to “No Action Needed”: You will be required to either add a task or select “No Action Needed” to complete the page.

Tasks will always be assigned to “Worker” by default. This means the task is for the case manager to complete.

When creating a task for the participant, keep in mind that the option selected in the “Action Item” dropdown will not be displayed on the participant’s printout.
