Definition

Task management gives your team a dedicated space to create, assign, and track work directly within SIMCEL, without relying on external tools. Tasks can be linked to Plans, Scenarios, and Events, keeping coordination grounded in the planning context where it belongs. To access task management, open the side navigation menu and click Tasks under the Collab section. This opens the main task board.
