Task attributes
About task attributes
In project management, a task can be defined by several key attributes, including its description, assigned individuals, start and end dates, priority, status, dependencies, and many more. From the perspective of task management, a task can be considered an item that has a certain number of attributes that are crucial for organizing, tracking, and managing tasks effectively within a project.
Attributes are also helpful when you want to filter, sort, and organize tasks.
In BigPicture, the set of basic task attributes depends on the box type.
