TaskRox User Manual
This manual explains how to use each TaskRox module: what each screen shows, the fields and actions available, and the permission level each action needs. It has 47 topics, one page per topic. The same guides are available inside the app under Help after you sign in.
General topics cover account setup, navigation, access control and support. Module topics are grouped by purpose in the order they appear in a project or site: Planning, Control, Procurement, Comms, Commercial and Closeout. Company topics cover the organisation-wide tools shared across projects and sites.
