   **4. Due Date:** Set a due date to make sure everything is going to plan.

   **7. User:** Assign or delegate someone responsible for the task.  
   **8. Attachments(s):** Take a photo, or attach a file like a PDF or a Spreadsheet to the task so you can provide farm staff, consultants, and contractors with the information they need to complete the task.
