What is a Task Collection
A Task Collection in xTiles is a powerful way to view and manage all your tasks within a project in one place. It helps you easily track both active and completed tasks without losing sight of your progress.
The Task Collection also works like a task database, allowing you to:
Create and customize properties for your tasks
Sort and filter tasks based on your needs
Manage everything in a structured, organized way
Using a Task Collection gives you a clear overview of your work and makes task management more efficient and flexible.
How to Add a Task Collection to a Project
A Task Collection exists by default in every project and can also be added manually through System Collections.
To add a Task Collection to your project:
Go to your project.
Click the small down arrow next to the "+ New" Page button at the top of the project.
In the System Tabs window that appears, toggle Tasks on.
The Task Collection will then appear in your project as a page, giving you an overview of all tasks and their progress.
How to use Task Collection
A Task Collection is initially displayed as a table by default. You can explore your tasks using the following built-in views:
All Tasks: Shows all tasks within the project
To-Do Tasks: Shows all active tasks that still need to be completed
Completed Tasks: Shows tasks you’ve already marked as done
Calendar: Displays tasks on a calendar based on the Due Date property
Board by Assignee: Shows tasks in a Kanban-style board organized by the Assignee property
You can also create your own custom views using existing properties by clicking + New View at the top of the Task Collection. This allows you to organize and filter tasks in the way that works best for you.
Task Collection in My Planner vs Task Collection in other projects
My Planner is your centralized hub for tracking tasks across all of xTiles. Unlike a Task Collection in a single project, My Planner collects tasks from everywhere, giving you a unified view of your work across the platform.
Task Collection in a project:
Gathers tasks only from that specific project.
Useful for managing tasks related to a single project in one place.
Task Collection in My Planner:
Gathers tasks from all over xTiles — across all your workspaces, projects, pages, and tiles.
Perfect for seeing everything you need to do in one centralized view, regardless of where the task was created.
