# Task lists, list view and board

_Skileo Projects › Projects and tasks · Who can do this: Business owner, Member, Employee_

A project's tasks sit in task lists. See them as a list, or as a board with one column per list, and drag tasks to order or move them.

## Open a project's tasks

Open the project from “Projects”, then “Tasks”. The tasks you see are the open ones; each task list keeps its completed tasks at its foot.

## Task lists

A task list groups tasks: a phase of the project, a step of your process, or a part of the work. A new project gets the task lists of its template, or one list.

Click the actions button (**⋮**) next to “List” and “Board”:

- “Add a task list”: type its name and confirm.
- “Reorder task lists”: drag the lists into the order you want. Each move is saved at once.

Each task list also has its own menu, next to its name: “Rename” and “Delete”. A deleted task list goes to the “Trash” with its tasks. A project always keeps at least one task list.

## List view

“List” shows the open tasks grouped by task list. Each line shows the task's number and title, its labels, its subtasks done, its comments, its due date and who it is assigned to. A flag marks a task with “High priority”.

- Click a task's title to open it. See [Add and edit project tasks](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/add-and-edit-project-tasks).
- Drag a task up or down to change its place in the list.
- Tick a task's box to complete it. “Undo”, in the message that appears, opens it again.
- Click “Completed tasks” at the foot of a list to see its completed tasks. Untick one to reopen it.

On a wide screen, a panel on the right counts the tasks by “Task lists”, “Assignees”, “Due date” and “Labels”. Click a line to show only those tasks.

## Board

“Board” shows one column per task list, in the lists' order, with a card per task.

- Drag a card to another place in its column, or to another column to move the task to that task list.
- “Add a task”, under a column, adds a task to that list.
- The menu in a column's header renames or deletes its task list.
- “Add a task list”, after the last column, adds a task list.

Use the board when your task lists are the steps your work goes through, for example to do, in progress and done. Skileo remembers which view you chose in the page's address.

## Add tasks quickly

Click “Add a task” at the foot of a list or a column, type the task's name and press Enter. The field stays open for the next task; Escape closes it. Open a task afterwards to give it a person, dates and more.

## Find tasks

- The search box, “Search or #number”, finds a task by its title or by its number, for example #12.
- “Task list”: one task list only.
- “Assignee”: “Assigned to me”, “Not assigned”, or one member.
- “Label”: the tasks with one label.
- “Due”: “Overdue”, “No due date” or “Due this week”, Monday to Sunday.

“Clear filters” shows every task again. The filters are kept in the page's address, so you can send a colleague the link to the same view.


## Common questions

### How do I move a task to another task list?

Drag it to that list's column on the board, or open the task and change its “Task list”. A completed task can't be moved: reopen it first.

### Can I get a deleted task list back?

Yes. It is in the “Trash” with its tasks. See [Restore a deleted item](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/restore-deleted-items).

### Why can't I add or delete task lists?

You need the right to change the project. See [Who can see and change projects](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-projects).
