Summary: Use the Tasks tab to review channel work, change views, and open task details without leaving the channel.
Updated: 2026-04-03

Use the **Tasks** tab when you want to review and manage work that belongs to the current channel.

This tab helps you stay in the channel while checking open work, creating new tasks, and opening task details.

## Navigation

Open a channel first, then click the **Tasks** tab.

If you already know which channel the work belongs to, this is usually the best place to start.

## Choose a task view

The Tasks tab can show the same work in different ways:

- **List** gives you a simple table of tasks.
- **Board** groups tasks by status so you can review progress more visually.
- **Statistics** shows counts and summaries instead of individual task rows.

On smaller screens, you may stay in the list more often.

## Open the Tasks tab

1. Open a channel.
2. Click **Tasks**.
3. Review the task list for that channel.

## Choose the best view

Use **List** when you want to:

- scan many tasks quickly
- search or filter
- open one task at a time

Use **Board** when you want to:

- review tasks by status
- get a quick sense of progress
- focus on what is waiting, active, or finished

Use **Statistics** when you want to:

- see totals and summaries
- check patterns instead of individual task details

## Work with tasks

From this tab, you can:

- open a task to review or update it
- create a new task
- search for a task
- use filters to narrow the list

If you only care about tasks for the current channel, staying in this tab is often easier than using a broader task page.

## Tips

- Start in **List** if you are not sure which view you need.
- Switch to **Board** when you want a more visual status view.
- Use **Statistics** for a quick summary before you open individual tasks.
