Tasks

The Tasks module helps users create, organize, assign, and track individual or all work items within the Time Management App.

Tasks are the core working units of the application and can be linked to projects, assignees, stages, priorities, and planned schedules.

This module enables users to:

  • Create and manage daily work items.
  • Assign responsibilities to team members.
  • Track deadlines and overdue tasks.
  • Organize tasks by stage and priority.
  • Monitor workload efficiently and improve productivity.

  1. Click the Kebab Menu icon from the top-left corner.
  2. Select All Tasks from the sidebar navigation.

The Tasks screen will open and display all available tasks.

The Tasks screen is divided into two main sections:

  1. Tasks Overview Panel
  2. Task Details Panel or create new task page

    • Left Side:
      • Task Title: Prominently displayed title of the work item.

      • Subtasks Drill-down Button: For tasks containing subtasks, an interactive button (Subtasks (N) >) shows the subtask count and provides one-tap navigation directly to child items.
    • Right Side:
      • Planned Hours: Estimated effort (Planned (H): N/A or allocated time).
      • Start Date & End Date: Scheduled timeframe (Start Date: YYYY-MM-DD, End Date: YYYY-MM-DD).
      • Overdue Indicator: Prominent red text displaying exact overdue duration (e.g., 312 days overdue, 55 days overdue) when past the planned deadline.
