About tasks
Learn what a task is and how the Tasks page helps you track your assignments and deadlines.
A task is something you need to do in Joy, such as reading a FlexDoc or viewing a file. They make it easy to stay on top of assignments and deadlines, and to track completion across your team.
Tasks are created automatically whenever an asset is assigned. Anything you assign to your team lands on each person's Tasks page, so they always know what they need to do.
The Tasks page
You can quickly see a list of all of your tasks, and the tasks you've assigned to others, from the Tasks page. You can also view the assets associated with those tasks and view more details, such as the due date, current stage, and more.
The page is organized into columns based on stage: Not started, In progress, Warning, Overdue, and Completed. This layout, often called a Kanban view, lets you see everything you need to do at a glance so you can prioritize your time and spot critical items that are overdue.
