Task Properties

The details that describe a task — and the data that drives your views and reports.

Overview

Every task in Heyweek carries a set of properties that say what the work is, who owns it, and where it stands. Filling them in consistently is what makes boards, lists, and reports actually useful.

Key Features

• Title & description — Name the task and capture the detail behind it.
• Status — Track where the task sits in your workflow.
• Assignee — Make ownership clear by assigning the task to a person.
• Due date — Set when the work is expected to be done.
• Priority — Flag what matters most so the important work surfaces first.
• Tags — Categorize and group tasks across projects.
• Time estimates — Record how long the task should take.
• Project link — Connect the task to the project it belongs to.

What each property does

• Title and description give the task its meaning — keep titles short and put the context in the description.
• Status moves a task through your process, from not started to done.
• Assignee answers "who's responsible," and powers per-person views.
• Due date and priority together decide what rises to the top.
• Tags cut across projects so you can see related work in one place.
• Time estimates set expectations and give tracked time something to compare against.

How properties drive views and reports

• Boards and lists filter, sort, and group by status, assignee, priority, due date, and tags.
• Estimates sit alongside the time you actually log, so you can spot overruns.
• Properties feed analytics — accurate tasks mean accurate reporting.

Works with the rest of Heyweek

• Tasks belong to Projects and roll up into project analytics.
• Group and filter with Tags across your workspace.
• Compare estimates to reality with Time tracking.
• See the bigger picture in Reports.

Tips

• Always set an assignee and due date — unassigned, undated tasks are easy to lose.
• Use tags consistently so cross-project views and reports stay trustworthy.
