Tags for Task2Gather Projects

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

The most frequent plea from Task2Gather users was to add support of tags in Task2Gather. Therefore we’ve made up our mind to meet our users demands. Any project in Task2Gather can now be tagged. To assign a tag to a project you should highlight the project by clicking it with a mouse than in “Additional info” panel type in the tag name or choose the one that exists in the “Tag” field:

Don’t forget to press “Save” button to save the changes.

All tags that you’ve assigned to different projects are seen in the column above the names of the Projects. Choose the one you need and in the left column will be shown only those projects that have the chosen tag.

Another great feature that will be to our user’s liking is news. News is the number beside the project or task name that shows the number of changes made in the project or task:

In the previous version of Task2Gather news were generated due to all changes that took place. Now you’ll see only those news that appear in the task that you are responsible for or  where you made some changes or left your comments. Therefore news have become more informal for you.

How to make Templates in Task2Gather

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Most of the people have come across with the feeling of déjà vu as if something has already happened. Probably, it happens because we are to do some things more then once in our lives, for example, going shopping, getting prepared for a vacation or a business trip, etc.

So, using Task2Gather you don’t need any more to compile a new list of to-do’s and to-take’s every time. With Task2Gather you may create a special project called “Templates” where you can put seperate lists for different life situations. For instance, it can be different shopping lists, lists of actions that reoccur from time to time, etc. When you need one of the templates, you just choose the one you need, make it highlighted by clicking it, after that press “Duplicate” in the menu panel. There emerges the copy of the list you’ve chosen (*name of the list* copy), click the “name of the list” copy and press “Cut” in the control panel then choose the project where you want to paste this list and press “Paste”. Now you may enjoy checking the list once again. It’s really useful! Just try!

How to Use Colors

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Colors are filters that can help you to pick out only the tasks with the specific color. First of all you need to think of the colors legend. For instance, our company uses the following color legend:

New tasks

Bugs

Marketing tasks

Wishes

SEO tasks

Personal

To assign a color to a project or a task you should click the one you need (so that it is highlighted) choose the color in the “Additional info” panel and press “Save” button.

If I need to see all my tasks for Marketing I choose yellow square in the left bottom corner, my name and all projects.

After that all tasks that suit this parameters are shown “In filter”.

How to Use Filters

Using filters makes your work with the Task2Gather service easier for you and for your boss.
The left column is the filter where you can search tasks according to: Project, Participant and Color.


Set different filter parameters in the left column and see tasks that are “In filter” on the right.

“In filter” tasks are written in black and “Not in filter” tasks are in grey.

How to Use History & Discussion

Monday, October 6th, 2008

To add a comment to the project or task click the one you need (so that it was highlighted) and in the field “Comment for discussion” enter your comment. Then click button “Save”.

The discussion can be shown in two different modes:
“Show all changes and discussion” (in this mode there are shown all events concerning the task, for example, who created a task, whether it is complete or not, who this task is assigned to, all comments and so on)

“Show only discussion” (only comments to the task are shown).

How to Use Deadline

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Every Project or Task in Task2Gather can have a deadline. The deadline can be put either when creating or editing a task. Click the task so that it is highlighted and in control panel click “Appoint”. There appears a calendar where you can choose any date.

When you set deadlines to all tasks it is much easier to see the order in which you should  fulfill them. For this purpose you can open “List” mode of your tasks so that the tasks with the nearer deadline are shown in the top of the list.
