Introduction
Users can manage a task by clicking on any task created. A task will tie to a project. To access your tasks, navigate to Work > Task.
The difference between the basic task function and the task function in a project is that here, you will be able to see all the tasks assigned to the specific user – no regard to what project it is tied with.
In this view, the user also can see a summary list of tasks created with their status.
Users can see:
- List of Task available based on project (see Project column)
- Assigned To
- Due Date
- Status
- Action Button – Edit and Delete
By default, completed tasks are hidden. If you would like to show completed tasks in the dashboard as well, un-check the Hide Completed Tasks box.
Once done, click Apply button.
Then, the user can see the list of all tasks including the Completed status.
