Tasks

Kalipso - Developing - Specific options - Tasks

This option allows you to manage the tasks related to the development of the project. These tasks are created and managed by the user according to their work management.

When you click on the option in the Project menu, the following window appears:

As you can see from the image above, the window is divided into two tabs. One for configuring and visualize the tasks and another to define simple settings for the tasks.

In this way, the tabs allow:

Tab - Tasks

The tab is presented in the image above. So, you can see that the window shows a list with any available task already created or allows to create/modify a task.

A task is displayed for each line in the list. When viewing this line, the essential elements of the task are perceived, namely the title, description, dates, status, among other information. On the right side is an area where attachments that have been associated with the task may appear. Highlight the progress bar with the level of completeness.

These tasks are associated to the project. To start, the following icons are available:

• Add - Adds a new task (opens a new window).

• Modify - Modifies a selected task in the list (opens a new window).

• Delete - Deletes a selected task in the list.

See below how to add or modify a task.

Tab - Settings

In this option Kalipso allows changing the path to the file where it saves tasks. By default, tasks are saved in a file in the project folder. However, you can change the location of this file in order not to be together with the project.

As you can see the file has the extension .ktk that is unique to Kalipso for data on the tasks.

The file path information in the image is an example.

Add / Edit

When you click on add a new task a new window appears that allows you to create or modify it. This window is similar to the one that appears when modifying an already added task. Therefore, the process for both is described simultaneously. Thus:

General

• Name - Name for the task

• Description - Description of the task.

Details

• Start - Choose the start date for the task. By default this date is the current date.

• End - Choose the end date for the task.

• Status - Where the status of the task is presented. You can choose one of:

  • On Going

  • Suspended

  • Completed

• Completion - Indication of the level of completeness of the task. The bar (and its percentage) is managed by the user.

Attachments

• Add - Adds a file to the task. The files to attach are the ones available in the documentation area. So, when you click on this icon, it will open the window with the documentation area. See more here.

• Delete - Removes a selected file in the list. It does not delete it from the project. Only removes from the selected task.
