The Tasks tab in every Hiveku project is a lightweight kanban board for tracking work scoped to that specific site — bug reports, feature requests, polish items, follow-ups from client calls. 
Project > Tasks

​
Kanban Columns

Tasks flow through four columns:
  1. Backlog — not started, waiting to be picked up
  2. In Progress — actively being worked on
  3. Review — done, waiting for QA or approval
  4. Done — complete

​
Creating a Task

1

Click + Create Task

Button at the top of the Tasks page.
2

Write a title

Short and actionable. “Fix mobile hero overlap” beats “hero”.
3

Pick a type

  • Bug — something is broken
  • Feature — new capability
  • Improvement — enhancing what’s there
4

Set priority

Low, medium, or high. High-priority tasks get highlighted in the board.
5

Pick a status

Defaults to Backlog. Change it if you’re creating a task that’s already in progress.
6

Assign it

Pick a teammate from the assignee dropdown. You must have teammates invited to the project — see Invite Your Team.
7

Set a due date (optional)

Shows on the task card. Tasks past their due date highlight red.
8

Create

Task appears in the chosen column.

​
Moving Tasks Between Columns

Drag any card from one column to another. The task’s status updates automatically.
You can also click a task to open its detail view and change status from a dropdown there — useful on smaller screens where drag-and-drop is fiddly.
Above the board:
  • Filter by type — bug, feature, improvement, or all
  • Filter by priority — low, medium, high
  • Filter by assignee — see only tasks for one person
  • Search — type any part of the title
Filters stack. You can view “all high-priority bugs assigned to Sam” by layering three filters.

​
Subtasks

For bigger items, break them down:
1

Open the parent task

Click a task card.
2

Scroll to Subtasks section

Below the description.
3

Click Add Subtask

Enter a title and optional assignee.
4

Check off subtasks as they complete

Each subtask can be independently marked done without closing the parent.
Subtasks roll up visually — the parent card shows 3/5 subtasks completed.

​
Task Detail View

Click any card to open the detail panel:
  • Description (rich text, supports attachments)
  • Comments (threaded conversation per task)
  • Activity log (who changed what and when)
  • Subtasks
  • Linked items (discussions, commits, files)

​
Stats Panel

Top of the Tasks page shows counts:
  • Total tasks
  • Completed
  • In progress
Good for a quick project health check at a glance.

​
Project Tasks vs. PM Projects

Project TasksPM Projects
Scoped to this website projectCross-project, account-wide
Lives at Project > TasksLives at top-nav > PM Projects
Good for per-site to-dos, bug fixes, polishGood for broader initiatives, non-site work, client retainers
Tasks here stay with the project. For work that spans multiple sites or isn’t tied to a specific website, use PM Projects.

​
Verifying a Task Was Created

1

Check the column it's in

Your new task should appear in Backlog (or the column you picked).
2

Drag it to In Progress

The column count in the header should update.
3

Have the assignee confirm

If assigned to a teammate, they get a notification. Check they can see it.

​
Troubleshooting

Refresh the page — occasional browser extensions (especially drag-disabling ones) interfere. If it still doesn’t work, try a different browser or use the status dropdown in the task detail view.
You haven’t invited anyone to the project yet. Go to Settings > Team or see Invite Your Team. Once teammates accept, they show up as assignee options.
Check the filter bar at the top — an active filter may be hiding it. Click Clear filters to see everything. If it’s still missing, check the activity log on the project (someone may have deleted it).
Subtasks can only be added from inside the parent task’s detail view. If you created them as separate tasks, you’ll need to delete and re-add them under a parent.
Stats count across all columns. If a number looks off, clear filters — the display respects active filters. A filtered view of “only bugs” will show only bug counts.
