Overview of Tasks

A task represents a specific action or activity that needs to be completed. Tasks can be viewed in two distinct ways:
    1. [[Task List]] View
    2. [[Kanban Page]] View
Each view provides unique functionality for managing and organizing tasks.

Task List View

The Task List view can be accessed when you’re logged in and navigate to /todo . This view displays all tasks assigned to you across all teams and projects. Each task in the list is composed of four key elements:

Task Components

    1. Task Menu : Opens the task menu (explained below).
    2. Done Checkbox : Marks the task as complete.
    3. Task Title : The main title or name of the task.
    4. Description : Additional details or notes related to the task.

Task Menu

    1. Create Sub-Tasks : Break down the task into a list of smaller, more manageable sub-tasks.
    2. Export Task : This option behaves differently depending on the task’s context:
    3. For a normal task, it exports the task to the latest sprint if it’s part of an older sprint.
    4. For a [[Sprint Objectives|sprint objective]] task, it converts the objective into a normal task that can be assigned within the [[Kanban Page]].
    5. Delete Task : Permanently removes the task.

Kanban Board View

The [[Kanban Page]] view provides a more visual, card-based representation of tasks. When creating a card task on the Kanban board, it shares the same essential components as the [[Task List]], but with some additional Kanban-specific functionalities.

Creating Tasks on the Kanban Board

When you create a task on the Kanban board, only the Title is initially visible. This is because the title must be established before any other fields become available.

Task Components in the Kanban View

    1. Delete Card : Deletes the task card from the [[Kanban Page]].
    2. Title : The primary title or name of the task.
    3. Description : Additional task details or notes.
    4. Create Checklist : Adds a checklist of sub-tasks to the card, enabling a more detailed breakdown of activities within the card.
    5. Export to Latest Sprint : Moves the task to the latest sprint, ensuring it’s included in the most current project cycle.
