Understanding Tasks

About Tasks

Tasks enable you to sort out what has to get done and who’s going to do it. With Tasks, you can set due dates, create sub-tasks, and start discussions.

You can also assign tasks to your team and monitor which ones are pending, in progress, or completed.

Creating a Task

If your admin has enabled tasks in an item, you can create one by going to the tasks tab and either typing a new task directly at the bottom of the existing task list or by clicking on the blue + button.

You can also create tasks directly in your profile, or your dashboard, both with the same blue + button.

Tasks Capabilities

Within a task you can do several things:

• Add sub-tasks
• Set a status
  • Note: the last status listed on your task is the equivalent of "closed" or "done"
• Add one or more assignees
• Set a due date
• Change the location of a task (from an item to your profile, for example)
• Set an estimate
• Set a priority
• Add another task as a blocker. This is useful to signify that until one task is not finished, you can't get started with the next one.
• Add labels, to simplify search, filtering, and grouping.
• Set a recurrence, using the "Repeat" feature.

Task Comments

You and your teammates with access to a task can add comments, where you can embed content, @metion people or items, and more.

To see all the available options, type a / and the commands will show.
