Tasks

Tasks are the cards on your KanbanWP boards. Learn what a task holds and where to find guides for creating, organizing and automating them.

A task is a card on a board. It sits in one stage, and you move it from stage to stage as the work progresses. Every task belongs to exactly one board.

What a task can hold

Each task has a title and can also carry:

  • A stage, a priority (low, normal, high or urgent), a start date and a due date.
  • A description, assignees and labels.
  • A checklist and file attachments.
  • Subtasks and a “Blocked by” list of other tasks.
  • Custom fields, which are free-form name and value pairs.
  • A recurring schedule (daily, weekly or monthly).
  • Comments, an activity history and an optional link to a WordPress post.
  • An internal-only flag that hides the task from clients and viewers.
