Tasks and Notes

Who can do this: All plans. On Free, Tasks and Notes are available in your first project only.

Tasks

On a shoot, the to-do list lives in texts, call sheet margins, and someone’s memory. Tasks keeps it in the project, next to the script and schedule it came from. Find Tasks in the project nav. Your own assignments across every project are on the homepage under My Tasks. Two kinds of tasks feed the same list:
  • Project todos: standalone tasks with an assignee, notes, and comments.
  • Card todos: todo cards on any board (project, scene, character, item). One card can hold several items, each with its own assignee.
The project tasks page with the add-task form, saved views, and the task list

Create a project todo

  1. Open Tasks in the project nav.
  2. Enter a Task title and pick who to Assign to. Priority, department, and due date are optional.
  3. Click Add task.
Typing a task title, assigning it, and the new task appearing in the list Due dates can be today or later, never in the past. Status moves through Not started, In progress, Blocked, and Done. Only the assignee, the creator, and org admins or the owner can change a task’s status. What the assignee sees: an email with the task’s status, priority, department, due date, and blocked reason when there is one. If someone else edits the task later, the assignee gets an update email. When a task moves to Done, the creator gets an in-app notification.

Create a card todo

  1. Add a card to any board and set Card type to Todo.
  2. Add items inside the card and assign each one.
Card items appear in the project Tasks list and in My Tasks, next to the project todos. Toggle completion on the board, or open an item for full detail: priority, department, due date, blocked reason.

Comment on a task

Click the comment icon on a task or card item to open the slide-out thread panel. It is the same panel used on boards.

Notes

Every production has a pile of notes that belong to no scene in particular: the pickup list, what the location owner said about parking, shot ideas from the drive home. Notes is where those live, next to the script instead of in your phone. Find Notes in the project nav. Notes save as you type. Select text to make it bold, italic, or underlined. Type or paste a web address and it becomes a link. An open note with the notes list beside it and the note actions along the bottom

Add photos

Photos sit inline with your text, like in Apple Notes.
  • Click Add photo at the bottom of the note. Pick one or more images. They are added at the end of the note.
  • Drag an image into the note to place it where you drop it.
  • Paste an image to place it at your cursor.
Picking a photo with the Add photo button and the photo appearing in the note Click a photo to select it. Press Delete to remove it. If you do not see Add photo, ask your admin for media edit access.

Share a note

Notes start private to you. Only you can delete your note or change who it is shared with.
  1. Open the note and click Share.
  2. Check the teammates you want, or check Everyone on this project.
  3. Pick Can view or Can edit for each person.
  4. Click Save sharing.
The Share note window with the project roster, per-person permissions, and the view-only link Each person gets an email and an in-app notification, and the note appears in their Shared with Me section. The View-only link in the same window still works for people outside your team.

Edit together

Two people can edit a shared note at the same time. You will see who else has the note open, and a colored marker on the line they are editing. Changes appear as they type. If you both edit the same line at once, the last edit wins.
