Assistant Task Cancellation Notification
If a portal user cancels an assistant task, both the primary and assistant task handlers are notified of the cancellation, who cancelled the task with the reason for the cancellation. E.g., the primary task is to move a patient in a bed and an assistant task created as this requires two people. The portal user sees there is a member of the ward staff available to assist so only one porter is required. They cancel the assistant task with the reason "No longer required". The primary and assistant task handlers receive messages on their mobile app confirming the cancellation.
If a primary task handler cancels one or more of the assistant tasks, the assistant task handler is notified that the task has been cancelled by the primary task handler. E.g., the primary task is to move a patient in a bed and an assistant task is created as this requires two people. The primary task handler arrives at the ward and sees the patient is in a wheelchair so further assistance is not required. They cancel the assistant task with the reason "No longer required". The assistant task handler is notified of the cancellation on their mobile app.
