Dashboards

Can’t locate a file? Or, want to add some custom integrations and automations to a particular database? The archives live in this widget.

Tasks:

Use this widget to create sub tasks for this project. Make sure to use the page fields to designate:

• Due Date
• Priority
• Status

If your team has access to this Workspace, you can also assign tasks to a particular teammate.

✨ Pro Tip: You can integrate automation software like Zapier or Make to notify teammates when they’ve been assigned a task. For example, we have an automation that sends a Slack message to the teammate responsible for a task.

Planning

The Planning section is your place to view all uncompleted but planned tasks in a monthly calendar. Once you archive a completed task, they will no longer appear in this calendar.

Additionally, if you have moved any tasks to “Back-Burner” or “Stuck,” you can view them by clicking the relevant button.

Manage

The Manage section gives you a detailed breakdown of all outstanding projects and tasks:

• View the tasks that are overdue or have yet to be scheduled.
• View a visual kanban board of the projects that haven’t started, are up next, are in progress, and those that are completed
• View how each project is progressing on a task-by-task basis
• A timeline of tasks in the pipeline
