Features you'll enjoy in Tasks
Tasks offers you various features that will make your work easier. Explore the following features to know more:
Unified View
Having control over your tasks list while using multiple applications can be difficult. With the Unified View, you can stop toggling between applications to manage different tasks from different apps. Add, access, and make changes to all your Zoho CRM, Zoho Projects, and other Zoho apps' work items right from your mailbox.
One time add for recurring tasks
Sometimes, you may need to do the same work multiple times. However, you don't have to add the same task to your app again. With the Recurring Task feature, set a recurrence pattern for daily, weekly, or monthly, and sit in peace while we remind you when it's the time for repeats.
Customizable views and Kanban Boards
When you have a lot of tasks lined up, you may want to filter out specific tasks to get a better bird's eye view. Choose the right view to get the perfect glimpse at your tasks. For further enhancement, enjoy the Kanban Boards design and visualize your work better.
