Tasks

Tasks are the granular, actionable building blocks of your production. While a Project represents the overall deliverable, Tasks represent the individual steps required to get there (e.g., “Edit transcript”, “Mix audio”).

Task Attributes

Tasks in Cuevue are designed to be high-density and easy to update:

Hierarchy: Every task is nested under a parent Project (Episode).
Status: Integrated status tracking that can be managed independently from the project status.
Assignees: Multiple members can be assigned to a single task.
Dates: Dedicated start and end dates, which power the Timeline and Calendar views.
Docs & Comments: Tasks can include notes and feedback alongside the work.

Task Types

Not all tasks are the same. Cuevue supports Task Types so you can categorize work by its nature — for example, distinguishing “Editing” tasks from “Recording” tasks or “Review” tasks.

How Task Types Work

Defined per Space: Admins configure task types in Workspace Settings → Task Types.
Assigned at creation: When creating a task, choose a type from the dropdown. The default type is applied if none is selected.
Visual indicators: Each type can have its own icon, making it easy to scan a list and identify work categories at a glance.

Filtering & Grouping by Type

Task types integrate with all views:

Filter: Narrow any view to show only tasks of a specific type (e.g., show only “Editing” tasks).
Group: In List View and Board View, group tasks by type to see all editing work together, all review work together, etc.

[!TIP] Task types are especially useful for teams with mixed disciplines. A podcast team might use types like “Recording”, “Editing”, “Sound Design”, and “Marketing” to keep everyone focused on their lane.

Managing Dependencies

Tasks can be linked to show dependencies. This is crucial for complex productions where one task (e.g., “Sound Mixing”) cannot begin until another (e.g., “Picture Lock”) is complete.

Visualization: Dependencies are best managed in the Timeline View, where you can see the connections between task bars.
Automatic Scheduling: Moving a task that has dependencies will provide visual cues if it causes a scheduling conflict.

Organization & Hierarchy

Subtasks

If a task is still too broad, you can break it down further into Subtasks.

Rollup Progress: The completion of subtasks contributes to the completion percentage of the parent task and, ultimately, the overall project.
Where they appear: Subtasks nest under their parent and expand inline in views like the List, Board, and Timeline.

Terminology

Similar to Projects, your “Tasks” might be renamed at the Space level. Common variations include “Scenes”, “Steps”, or “Jobs”. Check your Space Settings for your team’s specific naming conventions.

[!TIP] Use @mentions in the task description or comments to loop in specific team members and notify them of assignments or updates.
