Task organisation
Task organisation FAQ
Find answers to common questions about task hierarchy and inherited properties.
Why can’t I add a task directly to a folder?
Folders contain other folders and task lists. Every task must belong to a list.
Open an existing list or create a new one inside the folder, then add the task.
What is the Inbox?
The Inbox is a built-in list for tasks that have not been organised into another list.
You can create tasks in the Inbox and move them to another list later.
Can I put a folder inside another folder?
Yes. Folders can contain other folders, allowing you to organise projects and subprojects across multiple levels.
Where can I find completed tasks?
Completed tasks remain in the Completed section of their list. See Complete, reopen, or delete a task for details.
Which inherited value is used when several folders define the same property?
The value from the closest folder or list above the task is used. A value configured directly on the task takes priority over all inherited values.
Why did a property change after I moved a folder, list, or task?
The item may now inherit properties from a different part of the hierarchy.
Custom properties configured directly on the moved item remain unchanged. Properties set to Inherit are recalculated based on the item’s new position.
