Tasks are at the heart of the Facility Management module. A task can represent anything you want to have show up on a calendar or appear on an invoice for a client. Because of its flexibility, it is important to understand all the different kinds of information that can be stored in a task so that you can determine which options to use for your particular situation.

• Tasks can be associated with plays or events
• Tasks can be associated with a particular show or performance
• Tasks can be associated with patrons or employees
• Tasks can show in the background of a calendar for all users
• A person can be assigned as the "owner" of a task
• Individuals can set alarms on tasks for themselves
• Tasks can have date and time ranges, such as meeting start and end times
• Tasks can be indicated as ToDo-type tasks that have only a necessary completion date
• Tasks can have resources assigned to them, such as the number of chairs needing to be set up in a venue, equipment being rented, or the actual rental of a room
• Tasks can have personnel assigned to them, such as the worker's billing hours for an event

When you ask the question "Can I use a task for .....?" the answer is probably Yes.

Default resources can be added to any theatre map (or venue). Default Resources are those that are a permanent part of that venue. These are added in the Default Resources tab.

There are a coupe of rules:

• A resource must be set up first
• Then it can be assigned to a venue

The G/L Entries tab allows you to track revenues by venue. The advantage here is that you can compare income venue to venue. eg:

• 'How is my black box doing as compared to my Mainstage?'
• 'Are we making enough money for of the rental of the lecture hall to support keeping it?'
