# Use the task list and the board

Tasks shows your tasks as a list or as a board of columns. Switch with List and Board at the top; both show the same tasks, with the same search and filters.

## Switch between the list and the board

Open “Tasks” in the menu and click “List” or “Board” at the top. Skileo remembers your choice for the next time.

At first, you see the open tasks of the software you are in.

## Find tasks in the list

- **Search**: click “Search” and type part of the task's title.
- **Filters**: click “Show filters” to filter by “Type”, “Assigned to”, “Tags”, “Status” or “Software”. Click a tag on a task to see only the tasks with that tag. “Assigned to”, “Tags” and “Software” show only to people who can make changes in Tasks.
- **Sort**: click a column title, such as “Due”.
- **Columns**: click “Customize columns” to hide or show columns.

Click a task's title to open its page.

## Use the board

The board shows the tasks as cards in columns. Choose how to group them in “Group by”:

- “Stage”: “To do”, “In progress” and “Done”. This is the default.
- “Assignee”: one column per person, and “Unassigned”.
- “Due date”: “Overdue”, “Next 7 days”, “Later” and “No date”.
- “Type”: one column per task type.
- “Tag”: one column per tag, and “No tag”.

“Done” is always the last column. It shows the latest completed tasks; the link at its foot opens all of them in the list.

Click a card's title to see the task in a side panel. From there you can complete it, edit it or “Open the full page”.

## Move cards

Drag a card to another column. The change is saved at once. Most of the time, the message that follows has an “Undo” button.

What the move does depends on how the board is grouped:

- “Stage”: the task takes that stage. Moving it to “Done” completes it.
- “Assignee”: the task is assigned to that person, or to nobody in “Unassigned”.
- “Type”: the task takes that type.
- “Tag”: the task gets that tag and keeps its other tags.
- “Due date”: cards can only be moved to “Done”. To change a date, edit the task.

Without a mouse, or on a touch screen, use the card's actions button (**⋮**) and choose a column under “Move to”.

## Put cards in order

On the board grouped by “Stage”, you choose the order of the cards in “To do” and “In progress”:

- Drag a card between two others. A line shows where it goes.
- Or choose “Top of the column” or “Bottom of the column” in the card's actions button (**⋮**).

The order is saved for everyone in the workspace. Cards that were never placed come first, the soonest due first.


## Common questions

### Why can't I move cards?

You need to be allowed to make changes in Tasks. A “Member” without that can see the board but not move cards.

### Why is a task missing from the list?

The list shows the open tasks of the software you are in. Check the “Status” and “Software” filters, and clear your search. A task limited to another software is listed only there.

### Can I use the board on my phone?

Yes. The columns scroll sideways, and tabs above them take you to a column.
