Tasks are the cards on a project board. Each task carries enough detail to make ownership and timing visible: who is doing it, when it is due, and how far along it is.
Create a task
Open a project from Projects and choose Add task at the top of the page, or at the foot of any column. Type a title and press Enter: the task is added and the field stays open for the next one; Esc closes it. Open the card to add a description and everything else. The column a task sits in is its status; drag the card to move it forward.
What a task can carry
- Assignee: one owner per task. Others who need to stay informed can be added as watchers.
- Dates: a start date, an end date, and a due date.
- Priority: Low, Medium, High, or Urgent.
- Tags: label tasks so they are easy to filter and group.
- Checklist: smaller steps to tick off; each item can have its own assignee.
- Comments and attachments: discuss the work in place, @-mention colleagues, and attach files.
- Reminder: get nudged shortly before the due time, from a few minutes up to a day ahead.
- Repeat: recurring tasks can repeat daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly; the next occurrence is created automatically.
