Managing Tasks

Written by Jen Gadus

Where to find your tasks

The Tasks Panel

The Tasks panel is accessible from every page in Riffle by pressing the Tasks button in the top-right corner of the page.

The panel shows all tasks relevant to you, organized across three tabs:

  • My Urgent Tasks: tasks assigned to you that are marked urgent, with overdue items flagged at the top.

  • All of My Tasks: every task assigned to you, regardless of urgency.

  • Assigned to Others: tasks you've created and assigned to teammates.

The Dashboard

Your tasks can be found in two places on the dashboard

What Needs Your Attention

You can find your tasks that are overdue or need immediate action, as well as tasks you've assigned to your coworkers.

Your Workweek at a Glance

A view of all projects or tasks assigned to you that are due throughout the week.



Elements of a Task

Each task shows the task name, due date, who assigned it, the specific request/message, and the associated project (optional).

💡 Tip: you can create a general task; there is no requirement for tasks to be connected to a project in RiffleCM.



Actions You Can Take on Tasks Assigned to You

When tasks are assigned to you, you can:

  • Mark Complete: removes the task from the panel immediately

    • Use this when the work is done.

  • Mark as Read: removes the highlighted styling from the task card but leaves it in the panel.

    • This also notifies the assigner you have seen this task.

    • Use this to acknowledge a task you've seen but haven't completed yet.

  • View Project (if applicable)

    • Use this to go directly the project's Overview page; note, tasks do not have to be associated to a project, so you may not see this button.


Actions You Can Take on Tasks You Assigned to Others

For tasks you've assigned to others, you can:

  • View Project (if applicable)

    • Use this to go directly the project's Overview page, if you associated the task to a project.

  • Send Reminder

    • Use this to nudge your teammate if a task is becoming stale.
