Tasks

The Tasks and journal entries from all projects in which you are entered as a responsible or involved person are displayed in the task overview. In addition, the project-independent Personal tasks are displayed. The filter is used to differentiate between the task types "All", "Responsible", "Collaboration" and "Personal".

Tasks and journal entries can be moved using drag & drop. This adjusts the due date for tasks without a target date, while tasks with a target date cannot be moved.
