Services and Tasks
When someone on the job site says "plastered wall, 12 m²," it shouldn't become a forgotten note, but a traceable task or service. Skava connects chat, todo lists and the "My tasks" page for this.
My tasks
My tasks shows everything assigned to you personally: the line items from order confirmations and from work orders handed to you, grouped by chat. Each item shows quantity, hours and a progress bar you drag directly. At the top you switch between open and all tasks, and three key figures tell you how many tasks, how many hours and what overall progress add up. If nothing is assigned, the page also tells you where tasks come from.
In the web app the page sits in the left sidebar under Services; on mobile you reach it from the tile in the overview.
Todo Lists in Chat
Create a quick task list directly in the chat : it stays visible in the project context:
- Tap the Plus icon in the input line and select Create todo list.
- In the dialog, give it a title.
- Enter one or more tasks; use "Add task" to create new rows.
- Confirm with Create : the list appears as an element in the chat history.
Each task in the list has a checkbox. This way the whole team sees at a glance what is still open and what is done : without anyone having to ask.
From Voice Memo to Service
Via the Plus icon → Create service, you record a completed service directly in the chat. This requires the chat to be linked with a company. If you record a service as a memo, Skava helps you turn it into a cleanly recorded line item : see Files, Media, and Audio.
A todo list is a quick memory aid in the chat. A service is a recorded, billable line item and requires a linked company.
Working time
Clocking in and out is quickest from the time clock in the Overview. Everything else, the weekly plan, the hours tracked per day, later corrections as well as holiday and sick leave, comes together in the calendar. How that works in detail is on the Work plan and calendar page.
Web App and Mobile App
The web app excels at sorting, filtering, and confirming larger quantities : for example, when you're catching up on the week over the weekend.
The mobile app is the entry point: record voice, quickly check off a box, mark a task as done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I see my assigned tasks in Skava?
On the My tasks page: in the web app in the left sidebar under "Services", on mobile from the tile in the overview. Skava collects the line items you are named on, grouped by chat and with their progress.
How do I create a todo list in Skava?
Tap the Plus icon in a chat and select "Create todo list". Give it a title, enter as many items as you want using "Add task", and confirm with "Create". The list then appears as a checkable element in the chat.
What is the difference between a todo list and a service?
A todo list is a quick task memory aid in the chat. A service is a recorded, billable line item and requires the chat to be linked with a company.
How does time tracking work?
You clock in and out from the time clock in the Overview. The hours you track appear in the calendar right next to the plan, and clicking the hours of a day opens the individual entries for corrections. Optionally Skava clocks you in automatically when you enter a site; you switch that geofence feature on in the settings.
How do I enter work time manually?
In the calendar, click the hours of your day and choose "Entry". You set the type, start and end, and can add a comment.
Can I also record vacation and sick leave in Skava?
Yes. As the type of an entry you choose Work, Holiday or Sick. Because start and end are full points in time, two weeks of holiday stay a single entry. In the weekly plan the absence then shows up in the cell, so planning sees at once who is unavailable.
