My tasks: views and what each one shows
In Taska, “My tasks” gathers tasks that concern you from all your spaces, including tasks without a deadline. The view decides which of them to show. The exact conditions of each view are below.
In the sidebar, click “My tasks”. It opens in the “Assigned to me” view. Tasks from archived projects don't appear in any view.
How to switch views
- In the header, click the button with the name of the current view, for example “Assigned to me”.
- Choose a view in the menu.
Each view shows the number of its tasks. The numbers of the “Waiting for me” views and of the “On fire” view are highlighted. If someone mentioned you while another view is open, a dot lights up on the view button. The view, grouping and sorting are remembered on this device and added to the page address, so you can share a link to a view.
My role
| View | Which tasks it shows |
|---|---|
| “Assigned to me” | Open tasks where you are the assignee |
| “Delegated by me” | Open tasks you created and assigned to someone else |
| “In discussion” | Open tasks where you are neither the assignee nor the author, but you wrote in the chat, someone mentioned you there or replied to your message |
| “Unassigned” | Open tasks without an assignee from projects where you have at least one task as its assignee or author |
Waiting for me
| View | Which tasks it shows |
|---|---|
| “Mentions and replies” | Tasks with an unread chat message that mentions you with @ or replies to your message. Closed tasks are included too |
| “Unread” | Tasks with unread chat messages where you are the assignee, the author or part of the discussion |
| “Awaiting my reply” | Open tasks where the last chat message isn't yours, was written in the last 30 days, and you haven't replied or reacted to it. The message is addressed to you, or you are the assignee or author of the task |
| “Client awaits a reply” | Open service desk tickets where you are the assignee and the client wrote the last message in the conversation with the client. The view appears in the menu only if you have at least one open ticket assigned to you |
Deadlines and progress
| View | Which tasks it shows |
|---|---|
| “On fire” | Open tasks due by the end of tomorrow, overdue ones included. Both tasks assigned to you and tasks you delegated to others |
| “New for me” | Open tasks that someone else assigned to you in the last 7 days. They made you the assignee or created the task for you right away |
| “No deadline” | Open tasks without a deadline where you are the assignee. Such tasks don't get into “Today” and “Upcoming” |
| “Stalled” | Open tasks where you are the assignee and nothing has happened for more than 30 days. The task hasn't moved to another column or board, and there are no new chat messages |
| “Done this week” | Tasks closed in the last 7 days where you are the assignee or the author |
Summary by project
The last menu item, “Summary by project”, opens a table. It has a row for each project and the columns “Assigned to me”, “On fire”, “Mentions and replies”, “Unread”, “Delegated by me” and “Unassigned”. A number in a cell opens that view for the selected project only. Projects where something is on fire or someone is waiting for you are at the top. Grouping, sorting and the summary are covered in “My tasks: grouping, sorting and the project summary”.
Why a task in the list has faded
When a task no longer fits the view, it doesn't vanish at once but fades. This happens when you read a mention, close the task or take it yourself. It leaves the list when you switch views or open “My tasks” again.
