# Tasks on your phone (https://docs.treema.ai/en/docs/mobile/tasks)

The tasks tab — what a card tells you at a glance, how to open and change work, and how to create it.

The **Tasks** tab opens on the same list your team sees on the web, arranged for one hand and a
short glance.

1. Filter and sort, always in reach
2. One task — everything you need before deciding to open it

## Reading a card without opening it [#reading-a-card-without-opening-it]

A card carries what you need to decide whether this is the job you're doing next:

* **The circle on the left** is the status — new, in progress, paused, done.
* **The title**, and a **flag** on the right when the task has a priority.
* **`#` and a number** — how people refer to that task out loud and in chat.
* **The property**, when the work belongs to one.
* **The due date**, which turns red once it has passed.
* **Who it's on** — the round avatars are people, the square ones are teams.
* **A checklist bar**, when there's a checklist: how much of it is done.

Tap the card to open the task itself, where you can change any of that.

## Inside a task [#inside-a-task]

1. The checklist, and the way into it

The status sits in the header and changes from there. Below it, one row per field — assignees,
watchers, due date, tags, priority, property — each opening a sheet when you tap it. A row you
aren't allowed to change is shown greyed out rather than hidden, so everyone reads the same task.

**Details** and **Activity** at the top switch between the task and its history: who changed what,
and every comment.

When the task has a checklist, its progress sits at the bottom — how many items are done, how many
are marked as a problem, how many are left — and **Open checklist** goes to the items themselves.
That screen is where most of a shift actually happens: tick an item off, or flag it as a problem
when the room isn't ready and someone has to know.

## Grouping, filtering, sorting [#grouping-filtering-sorting]

The list is grouped by whatever it's sorted by — by date you see a heading per day with a count of
the tasks in it; by status or priority, one heading per status or priority.

The two icons in the header are **filter** and **sort**. The filter icon changes colour while a
filter is on, so a list that looks unusually short is never a mystery — one glance at the header
explains it.

Pull the list down to refresh it.

## Creating a task [#creating-a-task]

Two ways, and they do the same thing:

* the **+** on a group heading — starts a task in that group,
* the round **+** in the corner — the same sheet you use for a message or a channel.

  Creating tasks is a permission, like everything else. If the option isn't offered, your account
  doesn't have it for this property — ask whoever administers your workspace. See

## What this page doesn't repeat [#what-this-page-doesnt-repeat]

Statuses, priorities, checklist templates and recurring work mean the same thing everywhere and are
explained once, for the whole product:

* [The task card](https://docs.treema.ai/en/docs/tasks/task/) — everything inside a task
* [Checklists](https://docs.treema.ai/en/docs/tasks/checklists/) — templates and how they're filled in
* [Recurring tasks](https://docs.treema.ai/en/docs/tasks/recurring/) — work that comes back on a schedule
