Every project is really a pile of smaller jobs — order the materials, schedule the inspection, frame the wall, call the client back. The Tasks tab is where you keep all of those straight: create them, assign them, give them dates, and track them from kickoff to completion, all in one place instead of scattered across texts and sticky notes.
This article covers creating tasks, linking them in the right order, and the different ways to view and manage them.
Creating a Task
In a project’s Tasks tab, click Add Task and fill in the details:
Title — keep it clear and specific.
Assignee — the team member or subcontractor responsible.
Start and End Dates — set the timeline (optional).
Description — any notes or instructions (optional).
Attachments — related files, drawings, or photos.
Any task you give a due date also shows up in the Schedule tab and the global Schedule section, so it lands on your calendar without extra steps.
Putting Tasks in Order with Dependencies
Some work can’t start until something else is done — you can’t paint before the drywall’s up. With task dependencies, you can link tasks so they happen in the right sequence.
Make one task depend on another, and when the prerequisite is marked complete, the dependent task automatically becomes active. It keeps your schedule honest, prevents overlaps, and makes sure the team tackles things in the order that actually works.
Seeing Everything on the Schedule
Tasks roll straight into your project’s schedule. On the left-side navigation menu, open the Schedule section to see all the tasks for a project, color-coded so you can read the timeline at a glance.
If you’ve connected your Google Calendar to Eano Pro, anything from Google that wasn’t scheduled through Eano shows up in light gray, so you can tell your Eano tasks apart from the rest of your calendar at a glance.
Different Ways to View Tasks
The Tasks tab gives you two layouts, depending on how you like to work:
List view — best for a quick overview and bulk updates.
Card view — better for visual tracking and drag-and-drop organization.
You can also filter by status and assignee to zero in on a specific person’s workload or just the tasks that still need attention.
A Few Things Worth Knowing
Assignees get notified. When you assign someone a task, they’re notified — so nothing depends on you remembering to tell them.
Tasks and the schedule stay in sync. A dated task automatically appears on the Schedule tab and the main Schedule page; you don’t maintain them in two places.
Dependencies keep sequencing automatic. Finish a prerequisite and its dependent task activates on its own, so the running order takes care of itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I create a task? In a project’s Tasks tab, click Add Task and fill in the title, assignee, dates, description, and any attachments.
How do task dependencies work? You link one task to another so it can’t start until the first is done. When the prerequisite is completed, the dependent task automatically becomes active.
Do tasks show up on the calendar? Yes. Any task with a due date appears in the Schedule tab and the global Schedule section. If Google Calendar is connected, your outside events show in light gray to keep them distinct.
What’s the difference between list and card view? List view is best for quick overviews and bulk updates; card view is better for visual tracking and drag-and-drop. You can also filter by status and assignee in either.
Will my team know when I assign them something? Yes — assignees are notified when they get a new task, so everyone stays in the loop.
