Tasks

Open Tasks from the app navigation and choose a project. Use tasks to define work, assign responsibility, plan dates, and track progress.

Create and update a task

Select Create task.
Enter a title and optional description.
Choose the project and complete any required fields.
Add assignees, priority, effort, dates, labels, or attachments as needed.
Select Create task.

Existing tasks use Save Changes after you edit them. Required fields show an inline message when something is missing.

Moving a task to another project requires permission to manage tasks in both projects. If the destination has different columns, Bnder places the task in a valid destination state.

Priority and effort

Tasks use four priority levels:

Low: useful work that can wait
Normal: regular work
High: important work that should be planned actively
Urgent: critical work that needs attention first

Effort is an estimate in hours. Capacity and planning features can use effort with dates and assignments.

States and views

Projects define their own task states. New projects commonly start with Todo, In Progress, and Done.

You can change a task's state from the task editor or by dragging it in Kanban. The app also provides:

Table for structured editing and scanning many fields
People for grouping work by assignee and reviewing capacity
Gantt for tasks with start dates or deadlines
My Day for work relevant to you now

See Gantt View, People View, and Table View.

Assignees, teams, and subscribers

Tasks can be assigned to people, People teams, and eligible virtual coworkers. Assignees receive a direct notification unless they assigned the task to themselves or disabled direct notifications.

Subscribers follow task changes without becoming assignees. Subscribers and full task history require a paid seat.

Dates and reminders

Add a start date or deadline when work needs scheduling. Upcoming and overdue deadline reminders follow workspace and personal notification settings. Deadlines can also appear in the Bnder calendar.

To-dos and Smart suggestions

Pro users can add checkable to-dos inside a task.

Depending on workspace settings and seat tier, the Smart panel can suggest labels or to-dos and warn about possible duplicates, overdue work, missing owners, availability conflicts, blockers, stale tasks, or missing next steps. Suggestions do not block task creation, and individual Smart warning categories can be disabled in preferences.

See AI Features.

Comments and attachments

Use comments for discussion and mention teammates with @username. Attachments can be added to tasks and, with the applicable seat, to comments. Image attachments can appear as previews on Kanban cards.

See Task Comments and File Storage.

Linked work

A task can link to:

Support tickets
Customers
Other tasks through dependencies
Milestones
Project-specific custom fields

Use Linked tickets to attach an existing customer request or create a ticket with task context already filled in. Use dependencies to describe blockers and Gantt relationships.

Projects can define required, searchable, filterable, and exportable custom fields. See Custom Fields, Dependencies, and Milestones.
