Introduction To Tasks - English

The Navgar Task module allows you to create, manage, update, view, assign, edit, and - if necessary - delete these little units of work called tasks. We focus on keeping it simple and allow you as a task creator to get those ideas from your head and into a record for action before distractions or obstacles can get in the way. We do so by allowing you to input tasks quite literally wherever you are through external interfaces such as WhatsApp, SMS, and System Toolbars (more on these in other articles) - and undoubtedly more in the future, but we also make it easy within the Navgar application. When you go to the Tasks module, the Internal Command Bar waits for you at the bottom of the screen to enter as many tasks as you need to quickly.

Each task gives you the necessary information, including name, description, origin (standalone task, flow or project), who assigned it, the due date for completion, and the chat button so you can make notes and comments to share with others or for your own memory. If the task is a flow task, you will see pertinent flow details as well, as shown below.

A task gives you the option of reassigning it to others, assigning it to a project, deleting it, or Snoozing (allowing you to hide the task until a set date and time you would like it to become visible again). All these parts are explained in other articles in detail.

For organization you have the three buttons (Today, Upcoming, and Someday), which will help you to organize your tasks in the Navgar calendar. There is also an article to organize your tasks easily and the way you want.

Finally, and most importantly, there is a button to complete the task on the left or inside the chat in the top left section, it is essential to press the button when you finish the task if you want it to disappear, allowing you to continue with another one.

There are several task section folders in Navgar to serve different working functions, the first and default one is the Inbox, where all your tasks arrive in. Below Inbox, you'll find the Today, Upcoming, and Someday sections where you can you can direct to and organize your tasks within based on your expected timeliness to complete. You also have the Snoozed section as a repository of your intentionally postponed tasks. Finally you have the section for To others, dedicated to tasks you've assigned to other people and you have an All Tasks section, which contains all tasks you have created (for yourself and assigned to others), created by others and you have been assigned to, or you are a participant of, be they active or completed.

Of the sections described above, the filters and sorting capabilities vary. There are relevant filters and sorting for Inbox, Someday, Postponed, To Others and All tasks to narrow down to your areas of interest. For Example: Inbox includes filters for Tags, Due date, Standalone Tasks, Project Tasks, Flow Tasks, Assigned by Others, as well as allowing you to filter from All Sources, and drill from All Projects into the ones you are interested in. Additionally, you can sort by Newest first, Due date, Last updated by anyone, or Alphabetically.
