Overview

A To-Do is a feature within the Project System that serves as an actionable note, enabling seamless communication, task prioritization, and efficient assignment management. It acts as a centralized hub for teams to organize, track, and collaborate on various tasks.

Use Case:

  • Collaboration: Users can leverage To-Dos to delegate responsibilities, assign tasks to specific team members, and facilitate collaborative efforts within a project. This fosters transparent communication and accountability, ensuring everyone is aligned with project goals and responsibilities.
  • Project Tracking and Monitoring: The status of various tasks can be tracked. This proactive approach allows for timely interventions and adjustments, ensuring the project stays on track and within the predefined timeline.

Create a To-Do

To-Dos can be created directly on a Designer Element to attach the task to a specific Flow, Rule, or other element. Additionally, users can create To-Dos from the To-Do Report on the Projects Dashboard, where they can establish project-level tasks.

Manage To-Do Items

The To-Do Report within the Info Dashboard lists all the To-Do items for a project. Users can add new project-level tasks, review and work on existing tasks, and filter the Report to display tasks assigned to specific users or groups. 

The Report can be filtered by To-Do states, including Pending, Completed, and Refused, providing a comprehensive overview of the task.

In the To-Do Report, tasks will be displayed with various details. How long ago was the task created, who was it created by, who is the task assigned to, and if the To-Do is attached to a Designer Element, a link to navigate directly to that element. The To-Do items can be expanded to display the description.
