Calendar & Tasks
This is one the new features we’re most excited about. For a long time now, we always talked about adding a Calendar inside Cage to help designers stay on track and manage their projects, deliverables, revisions, and approvals. Now, you have all that and more! Here’s a quick breakdown of the Calendar in the new Cage:
- Alerts. We alert you once you’re logged in if you have any overdue tasks. If you click “view all”, a nice little interaction happens and you’ll be able to see more details and also check them as done. Speaking of alerts…we’ve also added email notifications (another big request).
- Calendar Views. You can see the Calendar in a monthly (more visual) view or you can see your tasks in a list view (which all have filters so you can sort them by Dates, Project, Overdue, and by Person).
- Tasks. You can quickly add tasks directly in this view. You can see some general details about tasks in the Calendar and if you hover over one, you can get a detailed look at the task. In the task detail, we provide the file that task is associated with, along with some metadata to provide more context (Client, Project, File Name, number of Tasks, number of Unread Notes). You can check tasks as done directly in this view too.
All tasks in Cage are associated with projects and files. We’re not a general task or project management system tool, we simply built a task management tool for creative work to make collaboration in Cage even easier. This feature is extremely useful and we’ve kept it as simple as possible so that it’s easy to use (the reaction so far has been amazing). Stay tuned for more!
