Deskera’s Dashboard is a simple, intuitive and informative gateway to your project activities and tasks.

The Dashboard consists of 4 main sections:

1. Task Updates
2. Quick Links
3. Requests
4. Announcements

Task Updates:

The whole idea behind task updates on the dashboard is to bring to your notice the most important items requiring your attention.

These include:

• Tasks due Today and Tomorrow
• Tasks starting Today and Tomorrow
• Overdue Tasks
• Tasks starting in the near future

Each update also displays the concerned Project, the Task Name and the Current Progress (% Complete).

Task Updates help you allocate your time and attention to achieve your short-term goals, which add up to increasing overall project execution efficiency. No more lagging behind just because you couldn’t prioritize correctly.

The other sections displayed (depending on User Role) on the Dashboard are:

• Quick Links to all your projects and their activities
• Requests pending, including connection and administration requests
• Announcements which can be directed at specific users, projects or the entire company

What’s the difference between tasks and to-dos?

Okay, let’s get that out of the way first.

• Tasks have start dates and end dates and dependencies. To-dos don’t. They are rather simplistic in nature, the kind of stuff you often forget.
• Both tasks and to-dos are assigned to resources.
• To-Dos by nature are simple, and we’ve kept them that way. It’s quick and easy to create them, group them and assign them.

Let me show you how easy it is to use Deskera To-Dos:

• Creating a To-Do:

  Describe the to-do and assign it to a resource. If you don’t specify a resource, it’s assigned to you by default.

  

• Creating a group:

  Just enter a name for the Group. Drag and drop to-dos into groups or to reorder them.

  

• Marking as complete:

  You check them and they are marked as complete. That simple.
