What it does
The task is the core unit of work in IterDone — the row in a List that everything else attaches to: a task type, an assignee, a due date, a priority, a description, subtasks, dependencies, checklists, attachments, tags, and comments. Click any task to open all of it in a detail panel without navigating away from where you were.
Who needs it
Every user of the product touches this object day to day — creating tasks, updating them, and closing them out. Admins and managers use the same fields to see priority and status across the team's work.
Why use it
Everything you'd want to know about a piece of work lives on one task instead of being scattered across a spreadsheet, a chat thread, and someone's memory. Dependencies and checklists mean you can see what's blocking something without leaving the task itself.
How it works
A task is the row-level unit of work: it belongs to a List, and everything else — assignees, dates, fields, discussion — hangs off it. Click any task to open its detail panel without leaving the page you're on.
- Task type: a small icon-and-name classifier (defaults to "Task") picked from a per-workspace list of types.
- Assignees: one person by default, or several if the workspace-wide "Allow multiple assignees per task" setting under Admin, then Security, is turned on.
- Priority: None, Low, Normal, High, or Urgent.
- Due date.
- Description: a rich-text editor that saves automatically when you click away.
- Subtasks: break a task into smaller tasks nested underneath it; open any subtask to see its own siblings.
- Dependencies: mark another task as something this one is Waiting on, or something this one is Blocking.
- Checklists: add one or more checklists, each with its own items; every item can be checked off and optionally assigned to a person.
- Attachments: drag a file in, paste an image straight from the clipboard, or link one already stored in Dropbox or Google Drive.
- Tags: workspace-wide colored labels — add an existing one or create a new one inline without leaving the task.
- Comments: a discussion thread attached to the task, separate from its description.
To create a task fast, use the + task button in the top bar or press C from anywhere — pick a list, type a title, and it's created. From that same popup you can choose to create and open it, create and immediately start another, or create and duplicate it.
