Pending Tasks

Overview

This module is a facility that works as a reminder for all the users about the tasks that they have as “pending” to do in the system and is related to what a system user is supposed to do or register in the system.

As an example, a user has to approve or reject the creation of a merchant in the system after they have been registered all the information in the form. For the “aspirant” to become a registered merchant everything is done after the submission of the information, but for another type of user in the system, a “pending task” notification is raised and a counter for that specific task is added one. On the other side, when a pending task is done by the user that has assigned that activity, then the counter is decreased by one and the flow on process goes on.

There is a clarification to take into account, some activities are under users control and cannot be assigned or done automatically by the system, as a clear example of this non automatic task is the visual review of a document, this activity involves a human intervention.

Of course not all system users have to perform the same tasks or activities and that is why a pending task list can and will be different from one user the other.
