Creating and Organizing Tasks on the Kanban Board

In the lower section of the project, you can create tasks and plan them on a Kanban board. You can switch between tile, list, and calendar views for tasks. In addition, tasks can be filtered by priority, assignee, and—in list view—by status.

Create an assignment

Clicking the "Create Task" button opens an input page where you can create a new task.

In the upper section, you can enter the title and description of the assignment. It is also possible to upload files. Select the project to which the task should be assigned. Select an assignee who is responsible for the task. Also, enter the planned start and end times for when the task is to be completed.

Status

Tasks can be assigned to different areas on the Kanban board. The status values are predefined and cannot be expanded.

  • Backlog: Tasks that still need to be completed or new tasks

  • ToDo: Tasks to be completed

  • In Progress: Tasks that have been started

  • Completed: Tasks that have been completed.

Priority

Set the priority here to low, medium, or high. The priorities are fixed and cannot be expanded.

Email to the person in charge in the event of a late payment

If the date you entered as the scheduled end date has passed, an email will automatically be sent to the employee you selected as the assignee.

Send an email to the project manager when the status changes to "Complete"

If the "Complete" status is set, an email is automatically sent to the project management team.

Notify me when there is news that a task has been created

With this setting, a new task will be displayed as a post in the news feed.

Organize Tasks

Tasks are displayed at the bottom of the project. You can move them to the desired column using drag-and-drop, and the task's status will change automatically. You can also use drag-and-drop to reorder multiple tasks within each column. Below the tasks, you can access the backlog, where all tasks that have not yet been assigned are collected.

View and work on the assignment

To view the details of a task, click on the task title. The task's details page will then open.

At the top of the page, you'll find a link to the related project. If the task's due date has passed, the date is highlighted in red. All project members can post comments and upload files related to the task and view the task history. If necessary, the task can be copied from the upper-right corner. All project members can view and work on tasks.

Portlet

The "Projects" module includes a portlet called "My Tasks." You can find all the information here.
