Tasks
Task Management with Subtasks, Priorities, and Time Tracking
Every project in Droova has its own task list with subtasks, priorities, deadlines, recurring schedules, and time tracking. It replaces the inconsistent task setup most teams cobble together inside spreadsheets and chat tools.
Prefer to try before you commit? On the demo, bring one live project. We set it up on Droova for you, so you test it on real work, not a sandbox.
What it does
- Project tasks or standalone tasks. Create a task inside a project, or a standalone workspace-level task that is not tied to any project.
- Subtasks under any task. Each subtask has its own status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) and can be reordered by drag.
- Priorities and deadlines. Set Low, Medium, or High priority and a deadline per task. Tasks past their deadline with open status show as Overdue.
- Estimated hours vs time tracked. Set an estimate when you create a task. The task view shows time tracked against the estimate, so overruns are visible.
- Time tracking. Start and stop a built-in timer, or log time manually with start, end, and duration. Add an hourly rate if you want to track the value of the time.
- Recurring tasks. Set a task to repeat Daily, Weekly, or Monthly straight from the create-task screen.
- Notes thread and photos. The assigned team member and the supervisor can add notes to a task and upload photos (before/after, progress documentation). Everyone with access to the task sees them.
- Task dependencies inside a project. Task A can require Task B to finish first. The dependency shows as a chip on both tasks.
- "Enhance with AI" on descriptions. Enter a task title, then let AI expand a rough note into a clearer task description.
- Bulk actions. Select multiple tasks, then archive, delete, reassign, or change priority and status in one click.
- List and Kanban views. See the task list grouped by status, or as a Kanban board with a column per status. Drag cards between columns to change status.
- Filters and sort. Filter by status, priority, an "Assigned to me" toggle, a deadline window (overdue, today, this week, no deadline), and search text. Sort by deadline, priority, status, or created date.
What it does not do
Straight scope, so you know exactly what you are getting.
- The interface shows one level of subtasks. The data model can nest deeper, but the UI displays a flat subtask list under each task.
- No automatic time capture. Time is logged by starting the timer or entering it by hand. Droova does not detect activity for you.
- No task-level approval. Status changes by anyone with project access.
- Completing all subtasks does not auto-complete the parent task. The parent status is set manually.
- Task dependencies work inside a single project only. A task cannot depend on a task in another project.
Who it is for
Teams who break client work into multiple steps, want one place to track who owns what, and need to log time against tasks for billing or reporting.
Who it is not for
Personal to-do list users. Droova is built around project teams, not single-user task lists.
How it works
- 1 Open a project, or click New Task for a standalone workspace task.
- 2 Enter the title, optional description (with "Enhance with AI"), assignee, priority, deadline, and estimated hours.
- 3 Optionally set the task to repeat Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- 4 Save. The task appears in the list.
- 5 Click the task to expand it. Add subtasks, add notes and photos, start the timer, or add a dependency.
Frequently asked questions
Can a task have subtasks of subtasks?
The data model supports it, but the interface displays one level of subtasks. We recommend a flat subtask list under each task for clarity.
Can I block one task until another is finished?
Yes, within the same project. Open the task, add a dependency, and pick the task that must finish first. The dependency shows as a chip on both tasks.
How do recurring tasks work?
On the create-task screen, set Repeat to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Droova creates the next occurrence on that schedule.
What are task notes and photos for?
The assignee and the supervisor can post notes on a task and upload photos, like before/after shots or progress documentation. Everyone with access to the task can see them.
If I complete all subtasks, does the parent task complete automatically?
No. The parent task status is set manually so you decide when the work is truly done.
What happens if I reassign a task to someone else?
The new assignee gets a notification by email, and the previous assignee is removed from the task.
