Define your Checklist
When you create a new checklist, you will add to-do items or tasks, grouped in whatever way makes the most sense for your business.
Each task can be flagged with different options that control things like whether you should receive notifications or reminders about them, how often the tasks should be completed, etc.
These options are explained below.

- Select Departments: Check the appropriate departments associated with this Checklist.
- Add a Group by clicking on the "Add New Group" buttons: Groups allow you to arrange your Checklist into sections. For example: a Group called "Store Front" that holds all things regarding to the front of the store.
- Configure Notifications/Reminders and Employee access: Configure Notifications allows you to pick which employees TimeForge informs of a new task waiting to be completed. Configure Reminders allows you to select who receives a notification when any item in this group becomes past due. Lastly, you can pick which employees see and interact with the Categories in the group when you select Configure Employee Access.
- Add Categories to your Groups: Categories are the individual items or tasks in you checklist. For example: Checking lights or stocked items.
- Set the options: Each task can be set up allow Follow-Ups, Comments, or Ratings. A Follow-Up allows you to set an employee to follow up with regarding that specific task. Comments are simple comments attached to a task. Ratings allows you to give a task a star rating.
