Viewing Tasks

  You can choose between the List and Board views to get a glimpse of all your tasks.

Editing Tasks  

After you have created a task, you can edit the title, description, priority, due dates, and change or remove assignees whenever you need. To edit a task:

  1. Click open the task you want to edit.

  1. Make the required edits.

  2. Click the Edit  icon to change the task title.

  3. Click the Calendar  icon to change the due date.

  4. Click the Assignee  icon to assign or reassign the task to a teammate.

  5. he changes will be saved automatically.


Note: You can edit only the tasks you've created in a Streams group. For tasks created by other group members, you can only view, like, and comment.

Updating Task Information Via Drag-and-Drop

In the Board view, you can drag and drop tasks to easily update the category, status, priority, and due dates.

Deleting Tasks 

To delete a task:

  1. Click on the task you want to delete from the list of tasks.

Grouping Tasks 

You can group your tasks based on various criteria. To do so:

 

  1. Navigate to the Tasks module.

  1. In the task list, click the drop-down menu beside Group by.

  1. Select how you want to group your tasks. Tasks will automatically be grouped based on your selection.



Notes:

  • By default all your tasks will be grouped as per the due date.

  • In the Agenda View, task grouping is unavailable, as tasks are inherently organized by their timeline.

Customizing Task Views    

You can customize your task list view as either comfort or compact mode. To configure your viewing preferences:

  1. Click on the More Options icon in the top-right corner of the Task List.

  2. In the drop-down that appears, select Comfort or Compact.
