Create, assign, and track Tasks
Tasks are the primary units of executable work in the app. They can live in Lists, appear in views, connect to CRM records, feed dashboards, and carry comments, subtasks, attachments, activity, and time details when those features are enabled.

- Clear List filters and show completed Tasks.
- Check Archived or Recently Deleted if you have access.
- Ask the List owner or Space admin to confirm access.

- Cause: You may not have the required access, the feature may be disabled, or the app may be offline.

FAQ
Is a Task always inside a List?
Tasks are usually managed from Lists and views, but Task dialogs can also open from dashboards, search, links, CRM records, reminders, and other related areas.
Should I use a Task or a reminder?
Use a Task for work that needs to be completed. Use a reminder to bring something back to attention later.
