How to manage your emissions measurement tasks
Last updated: 10 April 2026
The Emissions Task Manager is the central hub for tracking your carbon inventory. It works like a project management tool (similar to Asana, Monday, or Notion) purpose-built for carbon accounting — generating tasks based on your emissions boundary, tracking progress, and coordinating data collection across your team. Navigate to Measure > Task Manager.
In this article, you'll learn how to:
- Generate tasks from your emissions boundary and reporting period
- Assign tasks to team members and set due dates
- Filter and search across your task list
- Track progress and manage task statuses
- Upload data directly from a task
Creating Tasks
Tasks are generated automatically based on your configuration — you don't create them manually one by one.
Click Create Tasks
Select an emissions boundary
Select a reporting period
Review generated tasks
The Task Dashboard
The dashboard shows two key views:
- Assignment overview — How many tasks are assigned to someone vs. unassigned. This shows governance: who is responsible for what.
- Inventory progress — How many tasks are completed, ready for review, in progress, not started, or skipped. Tracked over time.
You can also view deleted tasks to maintain a full audit trail.
Task Properties
Each task shows:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Task name | The GHG category (e.g., "Purchased Goods and Services") |
| Category | The emissions scope and subcategory |
| Node(s) | Which facility or entity the task applies to — click the dropdown if it applies to multiple |
| Period | The reporting period this task covers |
| Boundary | Which emissions boundary assessment generated this task |
| Assigned to | The team member responsible |
| Due date | The deadline for completion |
| Status | Not Started, In Progress, Ready for Review, Completed, or Skipped |
Filtering and Searching
Use the search box to find specific tasks — search for "electricity", "fuel", "waste", or any keyword. You can also filter by:
- Category — Filter by GHG category or scope
- Node — Filter by facility or organisational entity
- Status — Filter by task status (e.g., show only "In Progress")
- Assigned to — Filter by team member
- Boundary — Filter by emissions boundary assessment
- Period — Filter by reporting period
Managing Tasks
Click the actions menu on any task to:
| Action | When to use |
|---|---|
| View detail | Open the full task view to see instructions, uploaded files, and comments |
| Assign task | Assign to a team member — they'll receive a notification |
| Set due date | Set a deadline for completion |
| Mark as complete | When all data has been uploaded and reviewed |
| Mark as ready for review | When data has been uploaded but needs someone else to verify |
| Mark as skipped | When the task is not applicable to your organisation |
| Delete task | Remove the task (logged for audit trail) |
All status changes are tracked by the system for audit purposes.
Uploading Data from a Task
You can upload data directly from inside a task. Click Upload Carbon Data — the node and category are pre-selected for you, so you just need to upload the file. See How to upload emissions data for the full workflow.
You can also use the Comments section within each task to collaborate with colleagues, tag team members, and leave notes about data gaps or questions.
