Every change here is written through immediately — nothing is stored
on this page. If you have the link with ?k= on the end you are in
edit mode and the controls below appear; without it the board is complete but
read-only.
Finding things
- When
- Defaults to Now — this week and next. Later is work
that cannot start yet, No date is work nobody has scheduled, Parked and
Nudged are things deliberately set aside.
- Owner
- Picking a person opens every card and marks their steps with a blue rail.
- Lane
- One stream of work. Click a lane heading to fold it; folded lanes still
show their counts, and the board remembers which you folded.
- Find
- Searches titles, notes, owners and step text. Paste a
#number
to jump to one task.
- Gates only / High only
- Gates are approvals — nothing behind one starts
until it clears. High is priority set on the deliverable.
Changing things
- The date
- On a deliverable it is a calendar — click it, pick a day, it
saves.
- done / undo
- On any step. Ticking the last one does not close the deliverable;
that is deliberate.
- +7d
- Pushes a step out a week. A step with no date is refused — agree one
first.
- Comments
- On a deliverable or on any single step. Put your name in once and
it is remembered.
Taking something off the board
Three ways, none of which delete anything, all reversible, all leaving a
comment in Vikunja saying who did it.
- nudge
- Not this week, and it asks you why. Comes back by itself on
Monday — the board clears expired nudges on every refresh.
- later
- Sets a start date, which says “cannot begin before”.
It is not a deadline, so nothing turns red. Click now to bring it back.
- park
- Real work, no timing view at all. No date invented. Sits under the
Parked filter until you unpark it.
Worth knowing
- The board rebuilds every 20 minutes, so it cannot go stale.
- A deliverable is a thing that ships. Its steps are the handoffs inside it.
- The
#number after each title is that task's permanent id — quote it
and anyone can find the same thing.
- Files are linked, never attached.
