Installation and Setup:
Before installing Taskfeed, please read our System Requirements.
User Permissions Needed | |
---|---|
To install packages: | Download AppExchange Packages |
Install Taskfeed in a Sandbox or Production environment. We recommend installing any AppExchange package in a Sandbox first.
Grant Taskfeed access to users:
After you install Taskfeed, assign a Taskfeed License to anyone who should have access to Taskfeed;
Those users also require the appropriate Taskfeed Permission Set in order to see and work with Taskfeed objects in Salesforce.
There are different levels of access. Learn the different types of License and Permission Sets available with Taskfeed.
Optional Configuration Steps:
Out of the box, Taskfeed is related to Salesforce Accounts and Opportunities.
To view a list of Account and Opportunity-related Boards and Tasks:- Add Taskfeed Related Lists to Account and Opportunity Page Layouts.
- Manage Boards from Account and Opportunity records in Lightning or in Classic.
It’s a quick drag-and-drop job a Salesforce Admin can do in 5 minutes or less.
External Sharing
Configure External Sharing. This is one of our most sought-after features and allows Taskfeed users to seamlessly share a Taskfeed Board with anyone outside of Salesforce, giving viewers a real-time, read-only perspective of the project.
To use this feature, configure External Sharing for your Org first.
Once enabled, Taskfeed users can share boards that contain a public link and also use the Calendar Sync feature to view their tasks in external calendar applications such as Google Calendar, Apple, Outlook, etc.
Customizing Taskfeed:
Taskfeed is the ideal solution for Customer Onboarding and also highly customizable. You can relate Taskfeed to other Standard and custom objects, create custom fields, color-coded categories, labels, and even assign people to tasks automatically.
Visit Setup & Configuration and the Customizing Taskfeed section to find use cases and guides to help you customize Taskfeed to your business requirements.
