Tasks overview

Tasks are the unit of work in VA To-Do. Everything else, projects, views, tracked time, reports, exists to organize them.

What a task can hold

• Due date, optionally with a time
• Priority: Urgent, High, Normal, or None
• Description: longer context, notes, links
• Subtasks: a checklist inside the task, with a progress bar
• Assignees: in a workspace, who is doing it
• Repeat schedule: see Recurring tasks
• Comments: a conversation with whoever else has access, see

Comments and @mentions

The life of a task

1. Created, in a project or straight into the Inbox.
2. Active, it appears in Inbox, and in Today or Upcoming once it has a due

date.

1. Completed, struck through, moved to Completed. Reopen it any time.

Completed tasks stop counting toward the Free active-task limit.

Where tasks appear

• Inbox: every active task in the current context
• Today: due today, plus anything overdue
• Upcoming: due later
• Completed: finished work
• A project: just that project's tasks

Each of these can be shown as a List, a Board, or a Calendar. See Task views.
