In olooa, the Tasks feature is designed to give channel owners and team members the ability to create and manage one-off tasks that are independent of specific projects or project assignments. These tasks can be used to manage individual responsibilities, reminders, or quick to-do items, offering flexibility in task management outside of formal project workflows.
In this article, we’ll explain what tasks are used for, how they work, and how they can help streamline your day-to-day responsibilities.
What Are Tasks For?
The Tasks feature in olooa is intended to:
Create One-Off Tasks: These tasks do not have to be linked to a specific project or stage. You can create individual tasks to handle any standalone activities, reminders, or general to-do items that need attention.
Personal Task Management: Tasks can be used as personal reminders or actions that are private to the individual who created them, helping channel owners and team members stay organized.
Collaborative Tasks: Tasks can also be assigned to other team members, allowing for collaborative work on tasks that need attention but are not tied to a larger project.
Key Features of Tasks
Private and Shared Tasks
Tasks are private by default, meaning that only the individual who creates the task can see it. This makes tasks ideal for personal reminders or simple to-dos.
However, tasks can be assigned to other team members, making them shared tasks. Once assigned, the task will appear in the assigned team member's Tasks tab, and they can mark it as completed when finished.
Independent of Projects
Unlike project assignments, tasks are not tied to any specific project workflow. This allows channel owners and team members to manage miscellaneous tasks that don’t fit within the scope of a larger project.
Task Flexibility
Tasks can be used for anything from simple reminders to individual responsibilities. This flexibility allows users to handle both personal and collaborative tasks efficiently without needing to open a project or create formal assignments.
