A Guide to Using Subtasks
About Subtasks
Subtasks enable multiple tasks to be scheduled within one main task for completion. Subtask lists can also be saved as a template to be re-used on future tasks.
Use cases include:
Setting intake/onboarding subtasks when a new Service User is added (e.g. 4 Assessments and a Care Plan to be completed)
Creating a multi-process task such as 'PM Routine', which may require multiple tasks to be completed (e.g. showering, brushing teeth, toileting, putting on pajamas)
If certain actions are set within a subtask list (i.e. take blood pressure), staff will be able to click on the action directly from the task view and enter the required data from the same page.
Once subtasks are set up, they can be marked as complete by clicking the checkbox next to each subtask within the standard task view.
A percentage completion bar will display, showing up-to-date progress of subtask completion.
How to Create a Subtask List
When scheduling a new task (or editing an existing one), click 'Add Subtasks'
Set a description (optional)
Set an action (optional - This links to other features on StoriiCare)
This could be to Log a Measurement/Vital Sign (i.e. Take blood pressure)
This could be to Fill in a Form (i.e. Waterlow Assessment)
This could be to Review a Care Plan
You can customise subtasks in the Tasks feature with the following options:
Display or hide the progress bar.
Choose if the main task should be marked as completed upon subtasks completion.
Set whether subtasks should be marked as completed if the main task is marked as completed.
You can also link actions on the platform to the subtasks.

Subtask lists can be saved as Templates, which can then be loaded in the future to be used in other tasks.
