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.

A version saved before the task was moved to another project restores the task's content only: the task stays in its current project, list, kanban column and sprint.

Moving tasks to another project

Open a task and click Move in the detail panel, then pick a project. Only projects of the same organization where you can add tasks are listed. Subtasks cannot be moved on their own: they move together with their parent task.

Before you confirm, TaskView shows exactly what will happen:

• Moved: the task with its whole subtask tree, its content (description, note, priority, dates, amount, estimate), its history and its logged time.
• Removed: tags, assignees, links to attached files (the files themselves stay in the old project), dependencies with tasks that stay behind, sprint results, links to Git issues and repeat rules. Dependencies between the moved tasks are kept.
• Reset: the list, kanban column, sprint and graph position. The task lands in All tasks and the Backlog of the new project.

What moves also depends on your permissions in the target project:

• Without the permission to add subtasks, the subtasks stay in the old project as separate tasks.
• Logged time moves only if you may log time there: your own entries with the log permission, everyone's with the permission to manage all time. Entries that do not move stay in the old project's reports.

If you cannot delete tasks in the old project, the task is copied instead: the original stays where it is, and a new task with the same content and subtasks is created in the target project. Logged time is not copied, so no hours are counted twice.

The move happens in a single transaction: either everything above is applied, or nothing is.

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.
