Task Manager Pro is a powerful, fully integrated productivity tool for your OpenCart 3.X admin panel. It allows you and your team to create, manage, and track internal tasks directly within your e-commerce environment, eliminating the need for external to-do list applications.

With features like status tracking, document attachments, and multi-level reminders, it is designed to streamline your workflow, improve team collaboration, and ensure no important task is ever forgotten.

2. Key Benefits

Centralized Workflow: Keep all your e-commerce and administrative tasks in one place. No more switching between your store and a separate project management tool.
Improved Team Collaboration: Assign tasks by name, track progress with clear statuses (Pending, Completed, etc), and attach relevant documents to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Enhanced Accountability: With start and end dates in color, it's easy to see deadlines and manage priorities, ensuring tasks are completed on time.
Never Miss a Deadline: Utilize a flexible reminder system, including Highlighting task row and visual "glowing text" alerts, to keep critical tasks top of mind.
Flexible and Secure Attachments: Attach any file type directly to a task—from product images (JPG/PNG) to crucial business documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ZIP). Our dual-upload system allows for quick uploads from your PC or selection from the existing OpenCart file manager.

Seamless Integration: The extension is built to work within OpenCart admin panel, ensuring smooth and intuitive user experience.
