The Tasks screen is your hub for managing tasks assigned to you and your team. It's designed for quick access and efficient task management accessible with a click.
đ Favorites are an easy way to get back to a task you're working on. Star any task to add it to your Favorites sidebar, accessible from anywhere in Productive.
Task Overview
The Tasks screen lets you view tasks assigned to you, overdue tasks, completed tasks, or even tasks assigned to your co-workers by applying filters and employing various grouping options.
Tasks Screen vs Tasks Tab
The Tasks screen in the main navigation and the Tasks tab inside a project both list tasks, but they show different scopes.
The Tasks screen (main navigation) shows tasks across every project you have access to. Use it to see your own tasks, overdue tasks, or tasks assigned to co-workers, all in one place.
The Tasks tab (inside a project) shows only the tasks that belong to that project, organized into folders and task lists.
Both locations offer List, Board, Table, Timeline, and Calendar layouts. The Workload layout is available only in the Tasks screen, while Gantt is available only in projects.
In practice: the Tasks screen is where you go to see "my work" or "the team's work" across everything, and the Tasks tab is where you go to manage the full task breakdown (folders, task lists, dependencies) of a single project.
Quick Task Creation
You can quickly create a new task by clicking the + Task button within the Tasks screen.
This opens a form where you can select or type in the project to which the task should be added.
You can complete the task setup in the mini window or expand it to the docked or full screen for a more detailed entry (after selecting a target project).
