Task Management

Tasks are the fundamental building blocks in RocketFuel. This guide covers everything you need to know about managing tasks.

Creating Tasks

There are several ways to create a task:

• Click the + New Task button
• Press N anywhere in the project
• Press Enter while in a task list to add a task below

Task Fields

Every task has these default fields:

Field	Description
Title	The task name (required)
Description	Rich text description with Markdown support
Status	Current state (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done)
Assignee	Team member responsible for the task
Due Date	When the task should be completed
Priority	Importance level (Low, Medium, High, Urgent)
Labels	Tags for categorization

Tip

You can add custom fields to capture additional data specific to your workflow. Go to Project Settings → Custom Fields.

Task Views

View your tasks in different layouts:

List View

A traditional list with sortable columns. Best for detailed task management.

Board View

Kanban-style board with columns for each status. Best for visualizing workflow.

Calendar View

Tasks displayed on a calendar by due date. Best for deadline tracking.

Timeline View

Gantt-style timeline with dependencies. Best for project planning.

Subtasks

Break large tasks into smaller pieces with subtasks:

1. Open a task
2. Click Add Subtask
3. Enter the subtask title

Subtasks can have their own assignees and due dates, but inherit the parent’s project and labels.

• Change status
• Assign to a team member
