Task Project

Name (singular): Task Project
Name (plural): Task Projects
Alias (uri): task_project
Identifier (ID): cerb.contexts.task.project

A task project groups related tasks together and shares ownership across them. A task's permissions derive from its project, so granting someone access to a project grants it for the work inside it.

Ownership

A project is owned by an actor – a worker, group, role, or the application itself – using the owner__context and owner_id pair. That ownership is what the tasks inside the project inherit.

Closing a project

is_closed marks a project finished. Closed and unreadable projects are dropped from the Daily Task Board gracefully, rather than erroring.

The Tasks column

Task project worklists offer a 'Tasks' distribution bar column showing how the project's tasks are split between done, stashed, todo, and in-progress – so a project that has quietly stalled is visible without opening it.

Daily Task Board

Task projects are what the Daily Task Board workspace tab organizes work by. Each board picks which projects appear, gives them accent colors, and orders them; every worker then overlays a personal selection and order on top.

Records API

These fields are available in the Records API and packages:

Req'd Field Type Notes
  created_at timestamp The date/time when this record was created
  id number The ID of this project
  is_closed boolean Is this project closed? (0 or 1)
  links links An array of record type:id tuples to link to. Prefix with - to unlink.
x name text The name of this project
x owner__context context The record type of the owner
x owner_id number The ID of the owner
  updated_at timestamp The date/time when this record was last modified

Search Query Fields

These filters are available in task project search queries:

Field Type Description
closed boolean Is the project closed?
created date When the record was created
fieldset virtual Filter by custom fieldset
id number The record ID
name text The project name (partial match)
owner virtual Filter by the project's owner
tasks virtual A deep search on the tasks within the project
updated date When the record was last modified
watchers virtual Filter by watchers

The tasks: filter matches any task filter against the project's tasks, so a project can be found by the properties of the work inside it:

tasks:(status:open owner:me)
