Create metric tasks for multiple collection periods at once
To help ease data collection in Sustainability Program, you can now create tasks for multiple metric values and collection periods within the same reporting year at once. From the metric, either:
- From Values, choose the values to create tasks for — regardless of their period — then select Create task from Edit values.
- From Tasks, select All periods in Collection period, then click Create task.
Depending on the values selected, this may create multiple tasks with the same assignment details:
- A separate task for each value with a connected source file
- A separate task for each collection period, which includes the period's values not collected through source files
Tip: After you create the tasks, you can edit their assignment details as necessary, such as to adjust due dates based on the respective collection period.
