Acanthis offers a built-in task management feature designed to help you stay organized and on track. Whether you’re managing tasks for yourself or delegating them to others, here’s everything you need to know to get started.

Task Management Views

There are two ways to view and manage your tasks in Acanthis:

1. Kanban View
   Visualize tasks as cards that you can drag and drop across different status columns. This view helps you track progress at a glance.

2. List View
   A straightforward, text-based view where all tasks are listed vertically. Perfect for those who prefer a detailed overview.

Adding a Task

You can add tasks directly from an Insight or from the Tasks feature by clicking the + Add Task button.

1. Task Title & Description
   Start by giving your task a title and a brief description to outline its purpose.

2. Subtasks
   Break larger tasks into smaller, actionable items using subtasks. You can even assign these subtasks to other users, making it easy to collaborate and stay on the same page.

Task Status

Make sure to update your task status as you progress:

• Todo – The task is yet to be started.
• In Progress – You’ve begun working on the task.
• Completed – The task is finished.

Due Date & Priority

• Due Date: Setting a deadline helps keep you accountable and ensures timely completion.
• Priority: Prioritise tasks to focus on what’s most important and urgent first.

Updating Tasks

To update a task:

1. Click on the Task Name to edit its details, and hit Save to apply changes.
2. In Kanban View, you can easily update the task status by dragging it to the appropriate column or using the status dropdown.
   

Changing the View

You can switch between Kanban View and List View at any time, depending on your preference for managing your tasks. You can also filter by Subtasks if you would like to focus on the individual items required to complete the task.

With these features, the Acanthis Task tool helps you stay organised, focused, and efficient while managing your business activities.
