Complete a task

  1. Open Tasks in the menu.
  2. Click the round button in front of the task (Complete task).

The button turns grey for two seconds. Click it again within that time to cancel. After that, the task is completed and leaves the list of open tasks.

You can also click Complete at the top of the task’s page, or choose it in the task’s actions button (⋮).

When a task is completed, its followers and the Business owner of the workspace get an e-mail.

Reopen a completed task

  1. In the list, choose the completed tasks in the Status filter.
  2. Click the round button in front of the task (Reopen task), or choose Reopen in its actions button (⋮).

The task is open again, with the same details.

Show where a task stands

Each open task has a stage: To do or In progress. A completed task is Done.

  • In the list, choose Mark in progress or Back to To do in the task’s actions button (⋮).
  • On the task’s page, click the value under Stage at the top and choose the stage.
  • On the board, drag the card to another column. See Use the task list and the board.

Moving a task to Done completes it. Moving it out of Done reopens it.

Comment on a task

  1. Open the task and go to the Activity tab.
  2. Write your comment. You can add images (JPG, PNG or GIF).
  3. Click Send.

The comment is listed with its author and date. The task’s followers and the Business owner of the workspace get an e-mail with it.

Who can complete tasks

A Business owner can complete, reopen and comment on any task. A Member can when they are allowed to make changes in Tasks; otherwise they can only read tasks. The person a task is assigned to can complete it and comment on it from their own Skileo space.

Common questions

Where do completed tasks go?

They stay in Tasks. The list shows open tasks by default: choose the completed tasks in the Status filter. On the board, the Done column shows the latest ones.

I completed a task by mistake. What now?

Click the round button again within two seconds to cancel. Later, reopen the task: see Reopen a completed task above.

Can I edit or delete a comment?

No. A comment stays on the task once it is sent.
