TODO Tasks: Add Approval Step for Controlled Completion

TODO tasks can now include a required review step, ensuring work is checked and approved before it is marked complete.

What’s New

You can now require approval for TODO tasks.

When enabled:

  • A reviewer is assigned to the task
  • A review step is automatically added after completion
  • The reviewer can approve or return the task with feedback

The review experience follows the same logic used in Form Reviews—keeping behavior consistent across Trisk:

– TODO completed → sent for review
– Reviewer approves → task completed
– Reviewer rejects → task returned with feedback

How It Works

When creating a TODO task:

  • Enable Require Review
  • Select a reviewer
  • (Optional) Set a due date

Task creation window in workflow automation software showing the “Require Review” option enabled, with an assigned approver and due date. This feature allows accounting, legal, and consulting teams to add an approval step to tasks, ensuring work is reviewed and validated before completion in client onboarding, compliance, and operational workflows.

After the task is completed:

– A review step is triggered
– The reviewer approves or rejects the work

If rejected:

– The task is returned with feedback
– Issues must be resolved before completion

Feedback is tracked and visible within the task.

Task review screen displaying a rejected task with unresolved feedback and a highlighted field requiring correction. The interface shows reviewer comments and prevents task approval until issues are resolved, helping professional service teams maintain quality control, compliance, and accountability in workflow automation systems.

Business Impact

Ensure work is verified before completion
Add a review step to tasks that require validation.

Create clear accountability
Define who completes the work and who approves it.

Reduce errors in the final output
Catch issues before tasks are marked done.

Important Notes

📌 Approval step is optional
📌 Rejections include feedback and must be resolved before completion

Client Notes: Attach Files and Track Activity

Client Notes now support file attachments, with activity tracking for every interaction—so context and supporting documents stay together.

What’s New

You can now attach files directly to Client Notes.

Notes support:

  • File uploads from your device or Garage (e.g., PDFs, screenshots, agreements, emails)
  • Inline image previews
  • File preview and download

Every file interaction is tracked:

– Views
– Downloads
– Prints
– Who accessed the file and when

The system enables document tracking, including views and downloads, helping accounting firms, law firms, and consultants manage client information, documentation, and audit visibility in one centralized workflow.How It Works

  • Open a Client Profile → Notes
  • Add a note and attach files

After adding:

– Files appear within the Note
– Images display inline; other files open in preview and are available for download
– All interactions are recorded in Activity History

Business Impact

Keep context and documents together
Store supporting files directly inside notes.

Track document access
See who interacts with files and when.

Reduce follow-ups and searching
Access notes and related files in one place.

Use Cases

Legal
Attach agreements and track who accessed them.

Accounting
Store supporting documents alongside notes.

Consulting
Keep approvals, screenshots, and client materials in context.

Important Notes

📌 Maximum file size: 300MB
📌 Files are saved only after adding the note
📌 Activity is automatically recorded in Activity History
📌 Permissions follow existing client access rules

Clients List: Activity-Based Client Prioritization

The Clients List has been enhanced with activity-based prioritization to help you pick up where you left off faster and focus on clients who require immediate attention.

The new Frequent Clients filter surfaces recently engaged clients, enabling faster navigation and reducing time spent searching across large client datasets.

Trisk Client management dashboard displaying a filtered list of recently active clients using a “Frequent Clients” filter, highlighting accounts with recent activity within the last 30 days. The interface helps accounting firms, law firms, consulting, and other professional services teams prioritize active clients, track ongoing work, and manage workflows more efficiently without searching through large client lists.

What’s New

A new Frequent Clients filter is now available in the Suggested Filters section of Clients → List.

When selected, it shows:

  • Clients you’ve worked on in the last 30 days. This ensures the list reflects current operational workload, not static data.
  • Only activity relevant to you. The Frequent Clients view is dynamically tailored to each user based on individual activity.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to Clients → List
  2. Select Frequent Clients from Suggested Filters
  3. The list updates instantly to show only clients where you’ve had recent activity 

If no qualifying activity exists, the result set remains empty.

Business Impact

Improved Operational Efficiency
Reduces time spent searching for active clients by prioritizing recently engaged accounts.

Contextual Workflows
Transforms the Clients List from a static directory into a context-aware working surface.

Reduced Cognitive Load
Eliminates repetitive navigation by presenting relevant, in-progress work upfront.

This update turns your Clients list from a full directory into a focused, working list of your active clients.

Use Cases

This enhancement directly supports high-volume, multi-client environments:

  • Accounting & Tax Firms → Filing season workload prioritization
  • Consulting Teams → Active project visibility
  • Legal Practices → Ongoing case/client tracking

Important Notes

📌 The Frequent Clients filter is personalized for each user.
📌 Only clients with activity in the last 30 days are displayed.
📌 Visibility follows existing permissions.
📌 The filter updates dynamically based on your activity.

Workflows List: Structured Table for Scanning Work at Scale

The Workflows list now uses a table layout, showing status, progress, and ownership across all workflows in one view.

What’s New

The Workflows list is now presented as a table with clear columns and status indicators.

Open My Work → Workflows

Each workflow now includes:

  • Workflow Name & Owner
  • Progress (or completion status)
  • Current Stage with status and timing
  • Risk status (At Risk, Stalled, On Track)
  • Tags (for quick categorization)
  • Last Activity
  • Key Dates (start, due, completed, terminated)

At the top of the table, risk distribution pie charts provide a quick overview of your workflows:

– At Risk
– Stalled
– On Track

Trisk Workflow management dashboard displaying a table view of active workflows with columns for progress, current stage, risk status, tags, and last activity. The interface helps accounting firms, law firms, and consulting teams monitor multiple workflows, prioritize work, and track client onboarding and compliance processes at scale.

Hovering over a workflow reveals additional context, including status history, dates, ownership, etc. 

Workflow list interface showing a hover preview with detailed information including workflow owner, status, risk level, start date, and due date. This feature allows professional service teams to quickly access workflow context and identify risks without opening each workflow individually.

The improvements don’t stop at the list view. Clicking the workflow name opens the full workflow view in a new tab.

A new Search Bar allows you to find specific tasks or processes without scanning the entire workflow.

This is especially useful in workflows with multiple stages and parallel steps.

Workflow automation screen displaying a detailed workflow schema with tasks, processes, and a search bar to quickly locate specific steps. The interface enables accounting, legal, and consulting teams to manage complex workflows, track onboarding processes, and navigate multi-stage operations efficiently.

This makes the workflow schema easier to use as a day-to-day execution tool—not just a place to inspect structure.

Business Impact

As your firm scales, so does the number of active workflows.

Without structure, a workflow list becomes:

– Hard to scan
– Time-consuming to manage
– Easy to overlook risks

This update allows you to:

Review workflows at scale
Scan status, progress, and ownership across multiple workflows in one view.

Identify issues immediately
See delays, risks, and responsibility without opening each workflow.

Work with a clearer structure
Consistent layout makes workflows easier to track and manage.

Use Cases

Month-end close or high-volume periods

Open the Workflows list and immediately see:

  • Which workflows are At Risk
  • Which are Stalled
  • Which are On Track

Prioritize and act instantly—without searching, guessing, or switching between screens.

One View Doesn’t Fit All: Switch Between Client and Workflow Views Instantly

You can now change how work is organized in Clients → Overview—by client or by workflow—without changing data or context.

Now, you don’t have to adapt to a fixed view. The view adapts to you.

Client management dashboard showing a toggle option to switch between client-first and workflow-first views, allowing users to organize work either by client or across workflows. This flexibility helps accounting firms, law firms, and consulting teams manage client onboarding, track progress, and adjust workflow visibility based on operational needs. Trisk.io

What’s New

Clients → Overview now supports two views:

  • Client view — work organized by client
  • Workflow view — work organized by workflow across clients

Switching views:

  • Updates the layout instantly
  • Keeps filters, permissions, and data unchanged
  • Persists across sessions

Your selected view is saved automatically, so it stays the same across sessions, devices, and tabs.

How It Works

Use the view switcher in Clients → Overview:

  • Toggle between Client-first or Workflow-first near the search bar
  • Or switch from the selector in the first column

The view updates immediately without resetting your filters or data.

Dropdown menu displaying grouping options to organize work by client or by workflow within a client management system. This feature enables professional service teams to switch perspectives instantly, improving workflow tracking, client visibility, and operational efficiency across multiple projects. Trisk.io

Workflow-First View (What Changes)

When switched to Workflow-first:

– Workflows are grouped by workflow name, not by client
– Multiple clients running the same workflow appear together
– Progress is visible across clients
– Columns adjust to reflect workflow-level tracking

This allows you to:

  • Track how a workflow performs across clients
  • Identify where delays or risks are concentrated
  • Monitor execution across multiple engagements

Business Impact

Work from the right perspective
Switch between client-focused and workflow-focused views depending on the task.

Track execution across clients
See how the same workflow progresses across multiple clients.

Reduce context switching
Access both views in one place without changing pages or losing filters.

Use Cases

Account Management
Use the Client view to track work per client.

Operations / Delivery Teams
Use the Workflow view to monitor execution across clients.

One screen. Two perspectives. Same data—organized your way.
