Task vs. Event: which should I use?

Use an Event when training happens at a specific date, time, and place — drill nights, a scheduled class, an instructor-led evolution.

Use a Task when the activity is due by a date but the exact day/time is up to the individual or company officer — online training with a quiz, "read and review" assignments, or a crew drill to be finished before the end of the quarter.

Quick guide:

• Scheduled at a set day/time/place → Event
• Online or self-paced training due by a date → Task
• Something an individual finishes on their own → Task
• Crew training done at a time the company officer picks → Task

Recording training that already happened: for scheduled training, open the event and use Roster My Crew; for assigned (non-calendar) training, find it on My Assigned Training and use Roster My Crew; for training that's neither scheduled nor a requirement, use New Company Event from the Home page. These options depend on your permissions — if you can't record training, ask an administrator.
