Tasks

The core unit of work in Planix — create, assign, prioritize, and track tasks across projects.

Overview​

A task represents a piece of work within a project. Tasks carry a title, description, status, priority, assignee, due date, labels, and time estimate. They can be placed on the kanban board (assigned to a column) or held in the backlog (no column). The task detail view provides a full edit form, time tracking panel, and a sidebar with files, notes, tags, and an audit trail.

Key Capabilities​

  • Task CRUD — create, view, edit, and delete tasks; required fields are title and status
  • Status lifecycle — open → in_progress → blocked → done → cancelled (aligned with iCalendar VTODO STATUS)
  • Priority — four levels: low, normal, high, urgent; displayed as colored dots on task cards
  • Assignee — assign to any Nextcloud user; avatar shown on kanban cards and task detail
  • Due date — set a due date; overdue tasks are highlighted on the board and in My Work
  • Labels — apply one or more app-wide labels (color-coded) for cross-project categorization
  • Task detail view — CnDetailPage with a core info card, time tracking panel, and CnObjectSidebar (Files, Notes, Tags, Audit Trail tabs)
  • Kanban placement — assign a task to a board column to move it from the backlog onto the board
  • Procest link — optional zaakUuid field links a task to a Procest case (see Procest Integration)
  • Notifications — task assignment and due-date reminders sent via Nextcloud Notifications (configurable in user settings)

Standards​

  • iCalendar VTODO (RFC 5545) — primary field reference for task properties
  • Schema.org Action / PlanAction — semantic type annotations
  • VNG InterneTaak (Klantinteracties) — API mapping layer for Procest bridge
