Team ToDo’s are used to send messages to all users of a specific login type instead of an individual.

A Team ToDo can be created to all Accountants for example, instructing them to check all invoices before the months end.

ToDo’s serve as SquidWebs internal messaging system. Users can created a ToDo for another team member that links them directly to the page where the task needs doing.

Once the ToDo has been assigned to another user, it will be visible on the Today page of both the creator and the recipient until it is completed.

The only way to complete a ToDo, is to create a “ToDo Complete” and send it back to the creator.
You can even create ToDos for yourself!

To solve this issue simply resize the image to remove and unnecessary background content from the photo.
