Staff Dashboard

  2. If a Staff Declines the Task, it is removed from their Dashboard, and will be assigned to the backup Staff selected in step 1d. If the backup Staff declines the Task will be unassigned
  3. If a staff Accepts the Task, the Task stays on their dashboard and the Accept and Decline buttons no longer appear for that Task
