Tasks

Tasks are the core of TaskView. Every piece of work - a bug to fix, a feature to build, a meeting to prepare - is a task.

Creating tasks

Click inside any list to add a task. Type a title and press Enter. The task is created immediately - you can add details later.

Task details

Click on a task to open the detail panel. Here you can set:

Priority

How urgent this task is. Priorities help you and your team focus on what matters most. Tasks can be sorted by priority in the list view.

Deadline

When the task is due. You can set just a date, or a date with a specific time. Quick shortcuts are available for common choices like "Today", "This week", and "This month".

The dashboard will show upcoming deadlines so nothing slips through.

Notes

A rich text editor for longer descriptions, steps, links, or anything else. Supports formatting, headings, lists, and code blocks.

Assignees

Who's working on this. You can assign multiple people to a single task. Each assignee can have a different role (responsible, participant) depending on your project setup.

Tags

Color-coded labels for categorization. A task can have multiple tags. Tags are defined per project.

Status

The workflow state of the task - tied to your Kanban columns. Status can only be changed from the Kanban board by dragging the task between columns. There is readonly status selector in the task detail panel.

Financial amount

Attach a monetary amount to a task and mark it as income or expense. Useful for freelancers or teams that need basic budget tracking alongside task management.

Subtasks

Any task can have subtasks.

To create a subtask, open a task and click the Add subtasks in the subtasks section. Subtasks don't have priorities or other detailed properties - they're meant to break a task into small, easy-to-complete steps.

Completing a parent task doesn't automatically complete its subtasks. You can use this to track whether all the pieces of a larger task are actually done.

Task completion

Click the checkbox next to a task to mark it complete. Completed tasks are hidden from the list by default. To see them, click the eye button in the toolbar - completed tasks will appear dimmed alongside active ones. They also show up in the dashboard's "Completed" widget.

To reopen a completed task, just click the checkbox again.

Task history

TaskView keeps a history of changes for every task. If something was accidentally changed you can restore it.

Open a task, go to the history section, and you'll see a log of what changed and when. Click Restore on any previous version to bring it back.

Deleting tasks

Delete a task from the context menu or the detail panel. Deleted tasks go through the history system, so you can not recover them.
