There are two ways of adding, editing, and deleting tasks. One is from the Dashboard> Tasks section and another one is from the Staff> Task section.
The difference between the two is that Dashboard> Task will show you only your tasks (created by you or by others) that are pending, whereas staff>task will show all staff member tasks as well as completed ones.
