Tasks Overview Screen + Management of Tasks

The Tasks Overview Screen is the main viewing area of the Tasks Module and where your comprehensive Task List lives. This is where you can:

  • View all Tasks assigned to you or your team

  • Manage your Tasks (edit, delete, duplicate)

  • Add a subscriber or note to a Task

  • Make bulk actions to multiple Tasks at once

  • Apply quick and advanced filters to your Task list

  • Search for Tasks


Creating a Task

Tasks can be created manually or automatically using a Workflow.


Task Properties: Statues, Priorities, and Queues

Before you start using Tasks, we recommend reviewing your Tasks Settings, where you can configure custom properties- statuses, priorities, and queues.


Task Templates

Task Templates streamline your workflow by allowing you to apply predefined settings to new tasks quickly. Whether you're manually adding a task or automating task creation through Rules + Workflows, these templates ensure consistency and save time. Not just limited to main tasks, Task Templates also support subtask templates, maintaining structure even in complex projects.


Task Mode

Task Mode is an innovative feature in the Element451, designed to streamline your task management and enhance productivity. With Task Mode, you can keep your most urgent tasks in sight, no matter where you are in your Instance.


Task Notifications

Element451 is designed to keep internal users efficiently informed about their tasks without overwhelming them with notifications.


Task Subscribers

Once a task has been created, you have the ability to add a Task Subscriber. Task Subscribers are other internal users who want or need updates on specific tasks but are not directly responsible for their completion.
