Manage all of your tasks

Dooly automatically pulls in your Tasks views from Salesforce. Check out the view called Incomplete Tasks to get started.
Drag and drop tasks between statuses as you progress, or all the way to the Completed column ✅ (Nice)
Use filters to focus in on your tasks based on attributes like due date, assigned to, by record, or try a combination.
Sort your tasks by created date, due date or last updated date via the Preferences button drop down.
Not a fan of the Kanban view for tasks? Not a problem - click on the layout button
to switch to a table format.
Task Editing in Kanban View
Need to make an update to your task? Not a problem in the Kanban view layout! Simply click on the card and edit the task title (subject) to change the wording of your task. Click on the avatar to change the assigned to, and click on the due date to make updates.
Pro Tip💡: Note Links on Task cards in Kanban view allow you to see and link to the note your task originated from.
Alternatively, you can customize a Task view from scratch:
Go to your Dooly Pipeline
On the Priority Views Bar select "More Views"
Click on "+ Create new view"
From the Data Source drop down, select Tasks
Apply these filters to the view to get only your incomplete tasks:
Assigned to is me
Status is not Completed
Task Subtype is Task
From here, you'll see all of the incomplete tasks that are assigned to you.
Here's a quick overview of how to manage your tasks by adding Fields when using the table layout view:
Subject: The name of the task.
Name: The related Contact for this task (if applicable).
Related To: This is the Salesforce record this task is related to, usually a deal or account.
Due Date Only: The date to do the task.
💡 Pro Tip: Sort this view by Due Date Only so you can prioritize what to tackle first (today's tasks and overdue tasks will be at the top).
Status: Here's where you can mark your task as complete!
Priority: High, medium, or low to help you prioritize.
Assigned To: That's you
