You'll then have access to modify the settings for this task. You can update any of the fields (other than Task Type) such as Description, Start & End times, Discipline, etc.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note: the Task Type cannot be modified after initial creation
{% endhint %}

You will also have the ability to Sync with POS and connect a POS activity by searching for the related activity in your Point of Sale system.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT: The POS Activity selected governs the ability of flaik to talk to your Point of Sale. Make sure that you know what you are doing prior to modifying. If you have any hesitations regarding this, please reach out to us <resortsupport@flaik.com> before making any changes.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### **Task Types**

There are five options of Task Type when creating a new Task

* Hold/Block - unpaid hours, such as for holding an instructor for an impending private request booking.
* Non-Teaching -  to schedule staff for other paid work duties, such as sign in, meet & greet, fencing, shoveling, etc. Paid tasks don't count towards Teaching Hours calculations.
* Private Lesson
* Program - for multi-week programs. Allows program dates to be added, [which has multiple benefits](/flaik-knowledge-base/for-administrators/multi-week-programs.md).
* Group Lesson

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/for-administrators/admin-settings-product-settings/global-product-settings/tasks-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
