Tasks

The tasks workspace at /tasks helps teams track operational follow-ups that are not covered by leave, hiring, or broadcast workflows.

​

Opening the tasks workspace

Go to Tasks in the sidebar or navigate to /tasks. You see tasks you created, tasks assigned to you, or all tasks you are allowed to view depending on filter selection.

​

Filters and views

Use scope filters in list view:

• All - tasks visible in your scope
• Assigned - tasks where you are an assignee
• Created - tasks you created

Switch to board view to work on your personal kanban. The board always shows tasks assigned to you, with every stage column visible even when empty. Drag cards between your own stages to track progress; dragging into your Done stage marks the task complete. Customize board stages from the wrench menu on the board: rename columns, pick colours, reorder lanes, add stages, or archive stages you no longer need. Each teammate has their own stage set. When you assign a task to someone else, it lands in their default To do column. Status filters separate Open and Completed tasks in list view. Search and sort help you find due-soon or overdue items. Due-soon tasks are highlighted so managers can prioritise. When you created a task for someone else, the list shows their current board stage as a coloured stage pill matching their board (for example In progress), with a tooltip naming their board.

​

Creating and managing tasks

Select Create task to open the task panel, then set a title, notes, assignee, and due date. The assignee picker includes search and only shows teammates inside your allowed department or team scope unless your role has organisation-wide task assignment access. When you assign someone, Campsite can send an assignment email to the primary assignee. Each task row shows the assignee’s profile photo, the open or done status, the due date, and whether the task reached an external provider. Actions available on each task:

• Mark complete or reopen
• Edit details, which reopens the same panel with the current values
• Delete (creator only)

Edit and delete stay visible on every row. Edit is greyed out when you are neither the creator nor an assignee. Only the person who created a task can delete it. If a task was set for you, mark it complete instead, or ask the creator to delete it. When a task is deleted, it disappears for the creator and every assignee. If you still have the old list open and act on a task someone else already deleted, Campsite removes it from your list and tells you it no longer exists.

​

Due dates cannot be in the past

Due dates are optional, but a date you set has to be today or later, in your organisation’s timezone. The date picker blocks earlier days and the task is rejected if an earlier date is submitted another way. A task that is already overdue keeps its original date, so you can still retitle or reassign it without touching the due date. Once you change that date, it has to move to today or later.

​

Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do sync

If your organisation connects Google or Microsoft integrations, tasks mirror to Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do for the assignee, not for the person who created the task. Point at the icon on the right of a task row to see the current state:

• Linked - the task reached the assignee’s Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do
• Not connected - the assignee has no Google or Outlook connection, so the task stays in Campsite until they connect one in Settings → Integrations
• Needs attention - the connection exists but has expired, so the assignee needs to reconnect

Reassigning a task moves the mirrored copy: Campsite removes it from the previous assignee’s provider account and creates a fresh copy for the new assignee.

​

Who uses tasks

Tasks suit coordinators and managers tracking one-off operational work: event setup, policy reviews, equipment checks, or follow-ups after a broadcast. They complement approval queues but do not replace formal leave or hiring workflows.
