    Claimory
    Tasks and Workflow

    Run the whole shop's work from one task board

    Claimory gives a collision repair shop one place for everything that has to happen today. Drag work across a four-column board, flip to a list that groups by what is late, hang a task off a claim or a cash job or nothing at all, push one task onto every open claim in a single action, and export exactly what your filters are showing.

    The Claimory task board for a collision repair shop, showing three columns titled To Do, In Progress and Done, with task cards for creating an estimate on an urgent claim, following up with a USAA adjuster, negotiating OEM parts approval and completing a fender repair, each card carrying its claim number, assignee, priority and an Overdue or Today flag.

    Task statuses that already speak collision repair

    1. 01

      To Do

      Where a new task lands. Anything you write yourself, and anything Task per Claim fans out across the board, starts here waiting to be picked up.

    2. 02

      In Progress

      Someone has picked the task up. On the board a task moves here by dragging the card, which is the only status change that does not need a dialog.

    3. 03

      Waiting

      The task is real, it is not done, and it is not the shop's move. A supplement sitting with an adjuster and a part sitting on a truck both live here.

    4. 04

      Done

      Finished work, and the only column with a time filter. It shows today by default, then past week or past month, so a busy board does not fill up with last month's wins.

    Two views over the same tasks

    A board cannot tell you what is late

    The Claimory task list view grouped by when work is due, with an Overdue heading and its task count above rows that each show a checkbox, the task title, its claim number, the assignee, a one-line description, a priority, an overdue chip and the due date.
    1. Kanban board

      Drag a card, change its status

      The kanban board is what opens by default. Each column is a status and each card is a task, carrying its claim number, its assignee, its priority and an overdue flag on the face of it. Drag a card from one column to the next and the status changes with it, which is the only way to move a task without opening a dialog. It is the view for a morning walk-through, when the question is what is everybody on.

    2. List

      Grouped by when it is due

      The list view sets status aside and groups by due date instead: overdue, due today, due soon, no due date, and completed, each with its own count. It is the view for the question a wall of cards cannot answer, which is what is late and how far. Whichever view you leave it on is the one that opens next time, remembered per browser.

    3. Assign it to somebody and they hear about it

      Notified on assignment, and on reassignment

      Putting a person on a task notifies that person, and changing the assignee later notifies the new one. Claimory stays quiet in the two cases where a message would be noise: assigning a task to yourself, and anyone who has turned that notification off in their own preferences.

    One title, every open claim

    It will not write the same task twice

    The dialog says so itself: a task is created for every active claim that does not already have a task with the same title. Claims that already carry it open are skipped, and the result tells you both numbers. That is what makes running the same check again next week safe rather than a mess.

    The Create Task for All Claims dialog in Claimory, which states that it will create a task for every active claim that does not already have a task with the same title, above fields for task title, description, priority and due date.
    Adding a task

    Log a task in two simple steps

    1. 01

      Essentials

      Title, description, status and priority, with To Do and Medium already chosen. The only thing you have to type is the title: that is the whole of what step one validates.

    2. 02

      Context & Assign

      Where the task gets its claim or its cash job, its assignee and its due date. A task with none of the three is still a valid task, which is why they are not on step one.

    The Create New Task dialog in Claimory, on step one of two labeled Essentials, showing fields for task title and description with status set to To Do and priority set to Medium, and a Next Step button leading to Context and Assign.
