Tasks with one name and a date on them
Every job in Klusko has a person, a due date and a place on the board. Subtasks, comments, files and repeats live on the task, so nobody has to ask where things are up to.
One name on every task
A task in Klusko has one assignee. That’s on purpose. When three people share a job, each of them assumes one of the other two has it, and the customer rings on Thursday.
One owner doesn’t mean one person does all the work. Add subtasks, @mention whoever you need in the comments, and let other people watch the task so its updates land in their Inbox. Priority comes in four sizes (Urgent, High, Medium, Low) as a soft coloured tag, so an urgent job looks urgent without the board turning into a fruit machine.
Jobs that come back every week
Set a task to repeat daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly. Tick it off and the next one appears with the next date. The oven clean, the VAT return, the Friday invoice run.
Other jobs have the same shape every time: a new starter, a kitchen fit, a client website. Save one as a template and the next one starts with its subtasks already in place. Recurring work has more on routines and checklists.
Fields for the odd details
Every trade has a detail that fits nowhere else: a merchant’s order number, a job reference, the client’s PO. Custom fields per project give it a home, and it shows up as its own column in the Table view.
Saved views keep a filter you use often, like “my urgent jobs this week”, one click away.
Five views of the same tasks
Drag cards between stages on the Board. Scan the List, grouped by stage. Sort the Table by date, owner or any field. Plan the month on the Calendar, and check the Workload before you hand out anything new. There’s more on calendars and workload, and a beginner’s guide to running a kanban board.
What tasks don’t do
No dependencies, no Gantt chart, no time tracking. If your work is a long chain of dates where one slip moves twenty others, Asana or monday.com will suit you better, and our comparisons say which. For most small teams a clear owner and an honest due date gets you most of the way.
Questions about tasks
Can a task have more than one assignee?
No. Each task has one owner, and that’s deliberate: shared jobs tend to become nobody’s job. You can add subtasks for other people, mention them in the comments, or have them watch the task so they get every update in their Inbox.
How do recurring tasks work?
Pick daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly on the task. When you tick it off, Klusko creates the next one with the next due date and the same details. Recurring tasks are part of the Team plan, which is free during early access.
Can I attach files and photos to a task?
Yes. Attach files to the task or add them in a comment, and everyone on the project can open them. It beats a photo of a leaking pipe sitting in one person’s camera roll.
