Set up teams, reminders and working days
Clinic admins can split chores by crew, nudge the team before close, get a daily wrap-up, and keep chores off closed days. All of this is in Clinic Settings > Chores, and changes save as you go.
Teams
Chore teams are your clinic's groups, the same ones Tasks and team spaces use. The Teams & points sub-tab explains this and has a Manage groups button that takes you to where groups are set up.
When you add or edit a chore, Expected from lets you pick one or more teams, or Everyone:
- Naming a team doesn't hide the chore from anyone. Everyone still sees it and can tick it off.
- A chore with no team belongs to the whole clinic.
- On the board, staff who belong to a team see My teams + shared by default. They can switch to Everyone's or a single team when they're covering.
A team's space also shows Today's chores for that team, with the clinic-wide chores folded underneath under All team chores. People can tick chores off right there.
Reminders
Chores expire quietly at midnight. A reminder gives the team one heads-up before close, grouped by room.
- Open Schedule & reminders.
- Turn on Send a reminder before close.
- Pick a time, and how many chores must still be open before it sends.
Everyone gets an in-app notification. Email goes only to people who turned on chore emails in their own notification settings. The reminder sends once a day and never on a closed day. Tapping it opens the board on the Must do view.
End-of-day summary
The end-of-day summary sends clinic admins a once-a-day wrap-up: how many chores got done, how many were marked not needed, and how many are still open. Staff never receive it. It's off until you turn it on.
- Open Schedule & reminders.
- Turn on Send an end-of-day summary and pick a time.
It goes out on working days only.
Working days
Chores don't come due on days the clinic is closed, and a chore rolling forward skips past them. Reminders and summaries stay quiet on those days too.
The Schedule & reminders sub-tab shows which days are on. Working days are clinic-wide, so you change them in Clinic Settings > Clinic profile > Hours & auto-lock, under Working days. They apply to Chores automatically.
