Is there a "cheat sheet" or a "checklist" a user can use for setting up a batch job or task in D365?

We are in the process of going to D365 and are in the testing phase of it, so I am asking if there is like a "cheat sheet" or a "checklist" for a user to follow, to create a batch job and task?

Thanks
