Learn how to use the Task Board feature in Group Assessments
The task board is a collaborative space where you can track individual members’ contributions to group work and monitor their progress.
Any milestones entered in the Group Charter by the teacher or your group members are reflected in the task board. You or your group members can create tasks within a milestone (that they’ve defined on the Charter) and assign owners, due dates and status to each of the tasks. Tasks can be filtered based on milestones, assignee, and status, allowing for easy tracking and making collaboration more transparent, organised, and accountable.
To create and manage tasks in the taskboard:
- You can add a task by clicking on the + New Task button or clicking on + Create New Task button under a milestone and entering the task name, description, assignees, status, and milestone.
- After the tasks are added, you can see them by clicking the downward arrow to the right of the milestone.
- To change the status or assignee of the task, click on the drop-downs on the task. You can choose between the options - Not Started, Blocked, In Progress, and Completed.
- Changing the status of any one task under a milestone automatically changes the status of the milestone. If all tasks are marked Not Started, then the milestone will also be marked as Not Started.
- You can filter and view tasks by due date, assignee, status, and milestone by using the filter dropdowns at the top. For easier tracking, the date filter has a From and To range option. For the other filters, there are Select All and Clear All options.
- To edit or delete a task, click on the three dots to the right of the task and choose the appropriate option. You can also bulk delete tasks by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the task or milestone and clicking the Delete Items button at the top right. Click Clear Selection to deselect the tasks.
