Coming Soon: Task Restrictions

Would you like to set restrictions so that only certain staff has access to particular tasks?

We’ll shortly introduce Task Restrictions within AroFlo Office and Field, which will allow your business to set restrictions on who can see which tasks. This is handy if you only want certain users to be able to view a particular task, or if users only want tasks that are relevant to them to appear in task lists.
