Last updated: 10 April 2026
The single task view is where the actual data collection happens. Each task has instructions, submission options, a data trail, and collaboration tools. Open any task from the Task Manager by clicking View Detail.
What You'll See Inside a Task
Every task — regardless of GHG category — follows the same layout:
- Inventory and period — Which emissions boundary and reporting period this task belongs to
- Task details — The assigned owner, due date, status, node, and category
- Brief instructions — Guidance on what data is needed for this category
- Submitted data table — All files uploaded to this task, with status, owner, upload date, start/end dates, and a download link
- Available submission methods — How you can get data into this task (varies by category)
- FAQ — Common questions specific to this GHG category
- Comments — A collaboration section for team discussion
Submission Methods by Category
Different GHG categories support different ways to submit data:
| Method | How it works | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheet upload | Upload an Excel or CSV file with rows of data. NetNada maps your columns using AI. | All categories (purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel, etc.) |
| Invoice drag-and-drop | Drag and drop PDF invoices. NetNada reads them using OCR and extracts the data automatically. | Electricity, waste, and other invoice-based categories |
| Built-in calculator | Enter data directly using NetNada's calculators (no file needed). | Waste, employee commuting |
Downloading Templates
If you're not sure what format the data should be in, download a template directly from the task. The template shows the required fields and optional fields for that category. Hover over the question mark icon next to each field for a description.
For example, the purchased goods and services template includes: dates, spend amount, currency, supplier name, purchase category description, transaction ID, account code, account name, and account type.
Uploading Data
To upload data, the task must be in an open status (not completed). If it's completed, click Reopen first.
