# Tasks & checklists

Opening, closing, prep and cleaning checklists with AI photo-proof.

- [Creating a checklist template](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/create-a-checklist-template) — Build an opening, closing or cleaning checklist once as a template — groups, tasks and answer types — and Mays turns it into your team's task list in the app. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web)
- [Task answer types](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/task-response-types) — Every task has an answer type that decides how staff complete it. Tick a box, take a photo, enter a number or text, pick an option, record a location, count stock or fill in a form. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [Building custom forms (Task Types)](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/custom-form-task-types) — Build your own task forms, like a cash count, a temperature log or a waste log, under Tasks → Types. Staff fill them in the app, and every answer lands in Task Data, ready to export. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [Task Data: viewing and exporting form answers](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/task-data-export) — Tasks → Data lists every answer submitted on a custom form, like a cash count or temperature log, one row per submission, and downloads them as a CSV file. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web)
- [Scheduling and assigning checklists](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/schedule-and-assign-checklists) — Choose which days a checklist runs, the hours staff can see it, whether unfinished tasks carry over, and who does it — a role, a department, specific people or one person per task. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web)
- [Creating one-off tasks](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/one-off-tasks) — Need something done today that isn't on a checklist? Create a one-off task for one person or the whole location, on the web or in the app, or straight from a chat message. (For: Managers, Admins · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [Completing your tasks in the app](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/complete-tasks-on-mobile) — Your checklist lives in the Tasks tab of the Mays app. Tick checkboxes with one tap, take photos, enter numbers, add a note — and fix and resend a task your manager sent back. (For: Employees, Managers · On: iOS, Android)
- [Why can't I see my tasks?](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/why-cant-i-see-my-tasks) — The Tasks tab is empty or a checklist is missing? Usually you need to clock in, it's outside the checklist's hours, or it isn't assigned to your role or location. Here's how to check. (For: Employees, Managers, Admins · On: iOS, Android, Web)
- [Reviewing and rejecting completed tasks](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/review-and-reject-tasks) — Check what your team completed — photos, numbers, notes — on the web Tasks page or in the app, and send a task back with a reason when it isn't done right. (For: Managers, Admins · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [AI photo verification](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/ai-photo-verification) — Let AI check every photo your team submits on a task. It flags weak photos for the manager to review, or rejects them straight away once you trust it. Each check uses AI credits. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [The Activity feed](https://www.mays.app/help/tasks-checklists/activity-feed) — The History tab in the app is your team's Activity feed — every completed and rejected task, with photos. Like it, comment on it, share it to a chat, or tap someone to see their profile. (For: Admins, Managers, Employees · On: iOS, Android)
