Task lists

Tasks are individual pieces of work that can be prioritized and selected to reoccur based on its due date. If tasks are related to one another, they can be created under a common Task List and selected to depend on each other.

Task list view

This area contains the Inbox List, Database Task Lists, and any task lists that are not associated to milestones. You can also choose to sort your task view by assignee or by tag in this area.

Task Inbox

Every Workspace has a Task Inbox which appears at the top of the Task Lists area. This can act as a generic task list which can be used for tasks that do not associate with any particular task list. Tasks can be created through the Task Inbox email address and then moved to specific task lists at a later time. To locate the Task Inbox email address, under Task Lists click Inbox > the drop down options menu > Email Tasks to this Task List. A pop-up will generate displaying the email address and instructions on how to create a task. This allows teams sharing responsibilities to self-assign tasks that have been generally placed in this inbox.

Database task lists

Databases can be configured to allow tasks to be associated with records. Database tasks can be viewed directly in the record by selecting the eye icon next to a database record or under the Project Management tab. The name of the task list in the Project Management tab will match the name of the database. For example, a database called Product Catalog would have a matching task list in the Project Management tab called Product Catalog Database.

Database Task Lists cannot be edited, deleted, cloned or associated with a milestone.

Enabling and disabling database tasks

To turn on database tasks, go to a database and navigate through Options>Database Actions>Edit >check the box next to Tasks associated with them>Save Changes. To disable database tasks un-check the same box and then select Save Changes.
