Tasks

Plan, assign and finish tasks in a list or on a board

Last updated 2026-11-01


The Tasks page keeps the things you and your team need to do, next to your work logs. You can give a task to a teammate, link it to a goal, and log the time when you finish it.

The two buttons next to Add Task switch between the views:

  • List view: tasks grouped by due date: Overdue, Due Today, then each coming day, then No Due Date. Each task shows its priority, role, due date, estimated hours and who it is assigned to. The coloured left edge shows the priority.
  • Board view: three columns, To Do, In Progress and Done.
