Tasks
Board and list views
Work your tasks as a Kanban board with drag-and-drop, or as a flat list — across one project or every project at once.
Tasks come in two views: a Board (Kanban) and a List. Both are available on the global Tasks page and on each project's Tasks tab.
Before you start
- Role
- OwnerAdminManagerMember
Everyone can view tasks. Members see tasks in the projects they're enrolled in.
Where to find it
- All projects: the global Tasks page (
/tasks), with Board and List views. - One project: a project's Tasks tab (
/projects/[id]/tasks).
The board
The Board is a Kanban with exactly three columns:
- To Do
- In Progress
- Done
Key behaviors:
- Drag and drop tasks between columns to change status. Updates are optimistic — the card moves instantly.
- Each column has its own infinite scroll, so long columns stay fast.
- Each column has a + Add task button to create a task right there.
The three columns are fixed. Hoursmith doesn't support custom status columns.
The list
The List view shows the same tasks in a flat, scannable layout — handy for sorting and scanning across a lot of tasks.
Open a task
Click any task (in either view) to open its quick-edit drawer, or open its full detail page at
/projects/[id]/tasks/[taskId].
