Create Task & Task Kanban

From this page, you can create and manage all tasks within a project. The Tasks page is the primary workspace for tracking work across different stages of the project lifecycle. It supports multiple views and provides powerful filtering, bulk action, and task management capabilities.

The tasks created here represent the actual units of work being tracked and delivered within a project.

To navigate here, go to Project->Task(s)

Use the project selector in the top right to switch between projects.

You can create a task from here also by clicking on Create Task on the top left.

Duplicate Task:

Clicking the three-dot menu on any task in the list reveals the option to Duplicate Task. This opens the Create Task form pre-filled with all the details of the original task, allowing you to quickly create a similar task without re-entering all the information.

Enable this checkbox to automatically start the timer for the duplicated task as soon as it is created.

Duplicate with Subtasks:
Enable this checkbox to duplicate the task along with all its subtasks. When this option is enabled, the Separate Task option will not appear.

Over Estimate Popup:

When a task is assigned to one or more employees and the planned hours exceed their available shift hours, the system displays an "Over Estimate" warning popup. This alert helps managers identify scheduling conflicts before confirming the assignment.

The popup displays a table with the following details for each assignee:

  • Name — the assigned employee.
  • Shift Hour — the number of hours available in the employee's shift.
  • Planning Hour — the total hours planned for this task.
  • Overtime — the number of hours that exceed the employee's shift capacity.
  • New Due Date — the suggested revised due date based on the employee's availability.

From here, you can either click Assign Forcefully to proceed with the assignment despite the overestimation, or click Cancel to go back and adjust the task details.

Note: This popup only appears if the Show Overestimation Popup setting is enabled in the project's Configuration(s) tab.

Views:

The Tasks page supports multiple views, accessible from the view icons in the top right:

Kanban View (Stage Wise):

The default view. Tasks are displayed as cards organized in columns by their current stage — for example, Open, Active, On Hold, QA, and Closed. Each stage column shows the count of tasks in that stage. The Unassigned column on the left shows tasks that have only a title and no module or platform assigned yet — these tasks automatically move to the Open stage once a module and platform are added.

Tasks can be dragged and dropped between stages to update their status. Each task card displays the task title, task ID, task type, date range, module, platform, estimated time, logged time, assignee avatar, and current status badge. Quick action icons are available at the bottom of each card for Priority, Settings, Tags, Assignee, Edit, and Delete.

image.png

Person Kanban View:

This view organizes tasks by assigned person rather than by stage. Each column represents a team member, showing all tasks assigned to them. This view is only visible to users who have the Can Assign permission enabled in the project's user configuration.

image.png

Classic View:

The Classic View displays tasks grouped by their module in a structured, collapsible list. Each module appears as a header row showing the module name, associated project, and end date. Tasks under each module can be expanded or collapsed using the arrow on the left. A + button next to each module header allows you to quickly add a new task directly under that module. Tasks without a module are grouped under a separate Task(s) Without Module section.

image.png

Plain View:

The Plain View displays all tasks in a flat, ungrouped list without any module grouping. All tasks across all modules appear in a single continuous list, making it easier to get a consolidated view of all tasks at once. The Bulk Move button becomes available in this view, allowing you to select one or more tasks and move them to a different project and module in a single action.

Toolbar Actions:

Import Tasks:

Tasks can be imported in bulk using a spreadsheet file. Click the Import icon from the toolbar to open the Import Task dialog.

Browse or drag and drop your file into the upload area. Only .xlsx and .xls file formats are supported. A Download Sample Template link is available to help you structure your file correctly before importing.

Bulk Move:

Select multiple tasks and move them to a different project and module in one action. The Move Task dialog allows you to select the target Project and Module, with an option to Update billing type according to target project. This feature is only available in the Plain View.

Bulk Action:

Deletes tasks in bulk, streamlining the management process. In Kanban and Person Kanban, this Bulk Action has an additional feature of Clear All Tasks from this Project. It removes all tasks from the currently selected project.
