Lists, task limits, and the completion list

Lists are the columns on a board. Each one can have a task limit, and one list per board can complete tasks automatically.

Manage lists

  1. Click Add list at the end of the board, or use the board settings menu → Add list.
  2. Open a list's menu (the … button next to its name) to Rename list, Add task, Move list left, Move list right, or Archive list.
  3. To reorder by dragging, grab the handle next to the list name.

Set a task limit

  1. Open the list menu → Set a task limit.
  2. Enter the Maximum tasks and save. Leave it empty for no limit.
  3. The list's count shows as "4 / 5". It turns red when the list holds more than the limit, and Taskeni warns you when you move a task into a full list.

Choose the completion list

  1. Open the list menu → Set as completion list, or the board settings menu → Completion list.
  2. From then on, moving a task into that list marks it complete, and moving it out reopens it.

Good to know

  • New boards use their last list as the completion list.
  • When a board has a completion list, a task's Mark complete button moves the task there.
  • A task limit is a warning, not a block. Tasks can still be moved in.
  • A board always keeps at least one list, so the last list can't be archived.
  • Archived lists can be restored from the board settings menu → Archived items. See Trash, archive, and restoring.
  • Completed tasks older than 60 days aren't loaded with the board. Click Show older next to the filters to bring them back.
