Frontline Portal - Managing task visibility with the role type filter

Updated by Victor Jespersen

The Role type visibility filter allows managers to control task visibility by limiting which roles can view tasks assigned to specific groups or stores, reducing unnecessary information for employees. It can be applied to an imported list of stores, and multiple roles can be selected for task visibility. Once sent, tasks will appear in the selected role's Overview and can be forwarded or completed as needed.

Role type visibility filter

You can now further limit the visibility of tasks distributed by group/ group type to particular roles. 

This feature:

  • Allows managers to manage the distribution of tasks within their stores.
  • Reduces information for store associates/ employees to only view their tasks.
  • Can be applied to an imported store list, i.e., import a list of stores and limit visibility by role.

You can use these steps to use the updated visibility filter:

  1. Create a new task.
  1. Select the audience using one of the group type selection methods.
You can also use an imported list.
  1. Select audience e.g. stores.
  1. Confirm recipients.
  1. Select roles using new role type visibility filter (e.g. Store Manager).
You can select multiple roles.
  1. Selected roles will appear in field and a summary statement will show in the Final checks section. If happy with your selection, set audience.
