Where to find it in Cognizy
Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
On the board, each task is a card with a code, priority, deadline, and assignees. Drag the cards between columns as the work progresses. Inside the task you'll find the description, checklist, subtasks, attachments, comments, and time spent.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Have a board created.
Step by step
- Step 1:
Open the board in and click New task in the column where it starts.
- Step 2:
Write the Task and, if you want, the Description. Choose the Priority, the Deadline, the Assignees, the Tags and the Estimate. Click Create.
- Step 3:
The card enters the column with its code. Drag it to another column as the work progresses. Use Search tasks and the filters for Priority, Assignees and Deadline to find what you need.
- Step 4:
Click the card to open the task. There you'll find the description, checklist, subtasks, attachments, and comments. In Time spent, enter the hours and minutes and click Log.
How to know it worked
The task appears on the board with its code, and the logged time adds up to its total. Assignees can see it in My tasks.
If something goes wrong
I can't drag the card.
Anyone with Viewer access on the board can't move cards. Ask an admin to change your role in Manage members.
Next step
Set up the columns, tags, and members of the board.
