The Tasks views: Pending, Kanban, Calendar and more

In Tasks, below the scope filter (My tasks, Where I participate…), there's a row of tabs. They all work with the same tasks, but organize them differently.

The tabs

  • Pending — your uncompleted tasks, in one group per status and sorted by date (those without a date go last). Each group shows 20 tasks; click Load more to see the rest. On a computer you can drag a task to another group to change its status.
  • Kanban — a board with one column per status. Drag cards from one column to another and the change is saved instantly. It doesn't show completed tasks.
  • Calendar — each task on its day. Switch between Week (the default view) and Month, and drag a task to another day to change its date. Tasks without a date wait in a separate panel so you can drag them to the day you want, and completed ones appear dimmed on the day they were planned for. On a phone it's shown as a day-by-day list.
  • Inbox — the same list grouped by status as Pending, but with its own selection of visible statuses.
  • Overdue — uncompleted tasks whose date has already passed, oldest first.
  • Completed — what you've already finished, grouped by day. If your account uses End date, a Late or Early badge shows whether you completed it after or before the planned date.
  • Discarded — the ones you discarded, grouped by month. It only appears if your account has the "Discarded" status configured.

Customizing what you see

  • In Pending, Inbox and Kanban, a button with the settings icon (Visible statuses, or Board statuses in Kanban) lets you check which statuses you want to see and drag them to reorder. It's a personal preference: it doesn't change what others see. If you check none, all are shown.
  • In the Calendar, the Calendar options icon lets you tick Hide weekends to see only Monday to Friday.

Searching

Above the list there's a title search box (not in the Calendar). In Pending, Inbox, Overdue and Completed it searches among all your tasks, not just the ones already on screen.

Reloading

If you've changed something elsewhere, click Reload tasks to bring the data up to date.

Tip: the scopes at the top (My tasks, Where I participate, From others) filter the tabs at once. If a task doesn't show up where you expect it, first try changing the scope.
