Tasks: kanban board, custom boards, and managing tasks

The Tasks module organizes your team's work as a kanban board. You create a task in under a minute, move it between statuses, build your own boards for customers or projects, and get notified as soon as a task reaches a given status.

Prerequisites
  • You're signed in and your organization has the "Tasks" module enabled.

Open the task board

Open Tasks in the sidebar (route /tasks). The Board tab shows the default board with the four columns Backlog, Todo, In progress, and Done. If a sprint is currently active, a sprint tab with its name also appears; if you belong to more than one organization, the All organizations tab is added too.

Create a task and maintain its details

Only the title is required when creating a task. In the open task detail, you write a description with Markdown and images, create subtasks, attach files, and write comments with @-mentions.

→ Create a task: description, subtasks, attachments, and comments

Manage the board, columns, and status

Drag and drop tasks between statuses, switch between the kanban and list view, filter and search, manage categories, and create your own columns with their own colors.

→ Task board: columns, status, filters, and categories

Create custom boards

Alongside the default board, you create your own boards with saved filters, group tasks by customer or project, or build a personal board that spans several organizations.

→ Create custom boards: filter, customer, project, and cross-org boards

Set up status notifications

Decide, per status, which people or roles get notified as soon as a task arrives there — regardless of who moved it.

→ Set up status notifications for tasks

Link and organize tasks

Assign a task to a project, a CRM customer, a milestone, or a parent task, schedule it into a calendar week, and flag what it's waiting on or blocked by.

→ Link tasks: project, customer, milestone, week, and dependencies

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an Admin or Owner to change boards, columns, or categories?

No. Custom boards, columns, and categories live in the shared organization settings and can be changed by any member with access to Tasks — this isn't an Admin or Owner feature.

Do my colleagues see the same boards I do?

Boards with a filter, and the customer and project overviews, are shared organization settings and visible to the whole team. A cross-org board, on the other hand, is personal and visible only to you.

What happens to a task with the "List only" status?

It disappears from every kanban column, but it isn't deleted — you still find it in the list view and can import it back into the kanban board from there with a click.

Do I get a notification myself when I move a task?

No. Whoever moves a task into a watched status themselves is excluded from status notifications for that specific change.
