What Urgent Tasks Are
Urgent Tasks are alerts about any jobs for the current day that haven't had action taken on them or have been marked a problem. They are intended to help administrators, dispatchers, and schedulers see and manage issues with specific jobs. They appear at the top of the Command Center in a red banner with the text for the most recent urgent task displayed in the banner.

How Urgent Tasks Clear/ How to Clear Urgent Tasks
Urgent tasks display for the current day's jobs. Therefore, all urgent tasks will automatically clear, i.e. disappear from the top of the Command Center, the next calendar day. Urgent tasks will also clear when:
Types 1 and 2
The specialist marks the job with the correct status in the Specialist App.*
A scheduler or administrator reschedules the job to a future time and/or date in the Command Center.
Types 1, 2 and 3
A scheduler or administrator cancels the job in the Command Center.
*It is a best practice for specialists to mark job statuses as they do the work in the Specialist App so that the dealership and customers have an accurate view of what is happening with the job. However, as a backup measure, schedulers also have the ability to mark job statuses in the Command Center.
