## What the Task Dashboard shows

The Task Dashboard is a report of the tasks that need attention. It only shows the tasks that are currently relevant, meaning any task that meets at least one of these:

-   Any task that hasn't been marked as **Completed**.
-   Tasks scheduled for a future date.
-   All tasks from a Task Plan whose job is still in progress.

## Accessing the Task Dashboard

On the dashboard, in the **Tasks / Scheduling** card, click **Task Dashboard**.

The Task Dashboard opens as a grid of all your relevant tasks. A counter in the top right corner, reading "Showing 2 of 2 tasks" in the screenshot below, tells you how many rows your filters have left and how many tasks the dashboard holds altogether.

*Every task that still needs attention, across every job. Overdue turns red and Completed turns green, so the rows to act on stand out.*

## Features

### Understanding the Columns

The dashboard has these columns:

-   **Related to**: The job number. Click it to open that job's page.
-   **Reference**: The Project Name of the task's job.
-   **Client**: The client for the job.
-   **Project Manager**: The person in charge of the job.
-   **Task**: The name of the task. Click it to open the Task Plan.
-   **Scheduled**: The date the task is scheduled to begin.
-   **Time**: The specific start time for the task, if one has been set.
-   **End**: The date the task is scheduled to be completed.
-   **Status**: This tells you the current state of the task. Its column-menu **Filter** is a checklist of these values rather than the usual operators:
    -   **Not Started**: The task is waiting to be started.
    -   **In Progress**: The task is currently being worked on.
    -   **Completed**: The task is finished. The cell is highlighted in green.
    -   **Blocked**: The task can't be started yet because other tasks it depends on are not complete.
    -   **Unscheduled**: The task is marked schedulable but has not been put on the calendar yet, so its **Assigned to** cell is empty. Schedule it from the [Task Scheduler](https://getjobbook.com/help/task-scheduling) and the status changes to the task's own.
-   **Task Due**: The deadline for the task.
-   **Overdue**: Shows **Yes** if the task is past its due date but not yet completed. The cell is highlighted in red.
-   **Assigned to**: The person responsible for completing the task.
-   **Office**: Hidden to start with. Tick it under **Columns** in any column menu to show it.
