Task Management

The task detail screen is the most powerful screen in the app. It gives you full control over every aspect of a task — title, description, workflow, assignees, labels, checklists, comments, attachments, and time tracking — all from your phone.

The Problem This Solves

When you are away from your computer, tasks still need attention. A quick update during a meeting, a comment after a phone call, a status change while commuting. Without mobile access, these small actions wait until you are back at your desk, creating bottlenecks and outdated boards.

What You Are Looking At

The task detail screen is a scrollable view with collapsible sections:

Header: Task title (editable), workflow status indicator, timer button, and more options menu.

Content area: Organized sections for every task property — each section expands to reveal editing controls.

Creating a Task

From the Board

1. Open a project
2. Tap the + button
3. Select a workflow column
4. Enter the task title
5. Optionally add a description
6. Tap Create

From the Drawer

1. Open the drawer menu
2. Tap Create Task
3. Select workspace → project → workflow column
4. Enter the task title and description
5. Tap Create

The task appears immediately in the selected column.

Editing Task Properties

Title and Description

Tap the task title at the top of the detail screen to edit it inline. For the description, tap the description section to open the editor. Changes save when you confirm.

Workflow Status

The workflow indicator shows the current status (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). Tap it to open the workflow picker and move the task to a different column.

Assignees

Tap the Assignees section to open the member selector. The selector shows all project members with search functionality. Toggle members to assign or unassign them.

Labels

Tap the Labels section to view and manage task labels. Select from existing project labels.

Start and Due Dates

Tap the Dates section to set start dates and due dates using the date picker.

Task Type and Effort

Configure the task type and effort level from their respective sections.

Checklists

Checklists break tasks into smaller actionable items.

Add a Checklist Item

1. Open the checklist section in the task detail
2. Tap the add button
3. Enter the checklist item title
4. The item appears unchecked in the list

Complete a Checklist Item

Tap the checkbox next to any item to toggle it between complete and incomplete.

Delete a Checklist Item

Swipe or use the delete action to remove a checklist item.

A progress indicator shows the checklist completion percentage.

Comments

Add a Comment

1. Scroll to the comments section
2. Type your comment in the text input
3. Tap Send

Comments appear in chronological order with the author and timestamp.

View Comments

All comments are visible in the comments section of the task detail screen. The most recent comment appears at the bottom.

Attachments

Add an Attachment

1. Scroll to the attachments section
2. Tap the attachment button
3. Select a file from your device
4. The file uploads and appears in the attachment list

View Attachments

Attachments display as a list with filename, size, and timestamp. Tap an attachment to preview or download it.

Time Tracking from Task

Start a Timer

Tap the timer icon in the task header. The timer starts immediately and appears in the Time Tracking tab.

Stop a Timer

Tap the timer icon again (now showing as running). A modal appears asking you to confirm the stop. The time entry is logged automatically.

If you have a timer running on another task, starting a new timer will prompt you about the conflict — you can stop the existing timer and start the new one.

Task Actions

Delete a Task

1. Tap the more options menu (three dots) in the task header
2. Select Delete
3. Confirm the deletion

Deleted tasks are removed permanently from the board.

Move to Another Column

Use the workflow picker to move the task between columns. This is equivalent to dragging a card on the web board.

Pro Tips (Once You Are Comfortable)

• Inline editing: Tap any section header to expand and edit. The screen scrolls to keep your editing position visible.

• Timer conflicts: If you forget to stop a timer, starting a new one will catch it. The app handles timer handoffs gracefully.

• Checklist for subtasks: Use checklists as lightweight subtasks when you do not need full task tracking for smaller items.

• Comment as status update: Drop a quick comment before changing workflow status. This gives your team context about why the task moved.

Permissions

• Agency Owners and Managers: Full task management including deletion
• Developers: Create, edit, comment, attach, and track time on assigned tasks
• Clients: View task details and comments (if granted access)
