How to Use the To-Do List
The To-Do List in Helix acts as your personal task inbox. Located on the right-hand side of the home screen, it only appears when a task has been assigned to you—whether from a patient record, CRM, inventory, or HR module.
🧾 Overview
The To-Do List widget provides a centralized view of all your assigned tasks in Helix. Whether you’re approving a purchase order, reviewing a lab report, or completing patient-related follow-ups, this panel ensures that all pending actions are clearly visible and easily manageable. Users can open tasks, leave updates, notify task creators, and mark tasks as complete—all from one interface.
