#Task Manager

The task manager is a kanban board for tracking work across your workspace. Tasks move through five columns as work progresses, and you can assign them to both people and specialists.

#The Kanban Board

The board has five columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Blocked, and Done. Each column header shows the column name, a task count badge, and a + button to create a task directly in that column.

Tasks appear as cards that you can drag between columns. Empty columns show "No tasks" as a placeholder.

#Create a Task

There are three ways to create a task:

1. Click the + button on any column header. The task starts in that column's status.
2. Click the + button in the sidebar header. The task starts in Backlog.
3. Press Cmd+N (macOS) or Ctrl+N (Windows/Linux). The task starts in Backlog.

A new task opens immediately in the detail panel with the default title "New Task". Edit the title, fill in the details, and press Cmd+Enter or click Create to save.

#Drag and Drop

Drag a card to reorder it within a column or move it to a different column. The source card fades during the drag and a highlighted copy follows your cursor. Drop targets highlight when you hover over them.

Full keyboard and screen reader support is built in, with live announcements as you move cards.

#Read Task Cards

Each card on the board shows key details at a glance:

• Title (2 lines max)
• Priority badge, color-coded: blue for Low, yellow for Medium, themed for High, red for Urgent
• Description preview (2 lines max)
• Due date
• Subtask progress (completed out of total)
• Channel badges (up to 3, with an overflow count)
• Assignee avatars (up to 4, with an overflow count)

#Filter Tasks

The sidebar provides filters to narrow down what appears on the board:

• Channel. Filter by a specific channel.
• Assignee. Choose from All assignees, Unassigned, or Assigned to me.
• Priority. All, Low, Medium, High, or Urgent.
• Status. All, or any single status.
• Include Archived. Toggle to show archived tasks alongside active ones.

Click Clear All Filters to reset everything back to defaults.

#Link Tasks to Projects

Tasks can be linked to projects. When you link a task to a project, it inherits the project's repository URLs so specialists have code context when working on it. Project pages also have a dedicated Pending Tasks tab showing only tasks linked to that project.
