      Make a To Do Private

      Control the visibility of construction tasks with privacy settings for ConstructionOnline™ To Dos

      BACKGROUND

      It's not uncommon that due to the sensitive nature of information or the need for focused accountability construction companies may need certain construction tasks and responsibilities to be restricted to specific project team members. Because of this, among numerous data fields and settings within individual To Dos, ConstructionOnline provides the ability to make To Dos private. By making a To Do private, companies can ensure only the To Do's Creator and any Assigned and/or Related Resources can view and edit the task—allowing them to safeguard critical information, streamline communication with relevant individuals, and maintain a clear and organized task management system.
