# How do I unlock the full potential of Action Item Management?

## Discover how to configure your form to quickly see Action Item descriptions right from the Action Tracker page!

#### **Use this guide to learn what to do:**

**[A. If you're working on the new form](https://support.weeversoftware.com/action-item-management#new-form)**

**[B. If you're already using a form with the Action Item field](https://support.weeversoftware.com/action-item-management#existing-form)**

### **Action Tracker Overview**

The new Action Tracker enhancement takes workflow management to the next level - ensuring every action moves swiftly to completion. Key details like assignees and action descriptions are now front and center, making it effortless to see ownership, context, and progress at a glance.

### **Action Item Field Overview**

Enable the following fields:

- **Action Item** -  Describes the work to be completed.
- **Assignee** - Allows you to assign a person to follow up. Don't forget to set who can assign people to their action items: *Staff only*, *Administrators only*, *Administrators and Supervisors*, or *All user types*.

- **Status** - Allows the assignee to set the current status of the issue.
- **Due date** - Allows you to specify a due date for each action item. Overdue action items will be displayed in red text in reports.

- **Work completed on** - Allows the assignee to enter the date the action item was resolved.
- **Describe the work that was completed** - Provides a detailed explanation of the work performed.

#### **B.** **If you're already using a form with the Action Item field**

Follow these steps to upgrade to the enhanced version:

1. Duplicate the existing form
2. Draft the old form
3. Replace the old Action Item field with the new one in the duplicated version
4. Re-schedule the form (if it’s an inspection)
5. Connect both the old and new forms to Power BI (if you have a live Power BI dashboard connected to it).

**Important:** This preserves historical submissions while allowing future data to use the new Action Item field. 

### Assignee Anchors in Forms

Your users can quickly jump directly to their action item directly in the Form on Weever.

When you are editing a form in the Action Tracker, located on the right hand side you will see anchors with the assignees name attached to them. Selecting the blue arrow anchor next to a users name will instantly bring you to that users specific action item in the form.

This helps with mitigating time scrolling through a form to find the exact spot to work on and allows your users to be focused and directed to only what needs to be done.
