Tasks

Keep track of the things that need to get done with tasks. With the ability to give each task an assignee and due date, and plenty of ways to see your tasks, you can make sure nothing slips through the cracks. 

Add a task

You can add tasks on any page in Confluence. For example, you might add tasks under action items on a meeting notes page, or in a requirements page – anywhere you need a lightweight task management solution.

To create a task:

  1. In the editor, choose the Task list Image Added button or use the keyboard shortcut [  ] 
  2. Start typing your task – @mention someone to assign the task to them, and type // and choose a due date

The first person you mention in a task is the assignee; you can even assign tasks to yourself.

Note
  • If you assign a task to someone who doesn't have permission to view the page or space, they won't see the task.  
  • Tasks with no text will not be shown in the Task report macro. 
  • The date picker can be triggered by typing // or by typing a date in the format dd/mm/yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy. Typing other date formats in the editor won't trigger the date picker.
  • Personal Tasks (created in the Workbox in older versions of Confluence) don't appear in the Tasks view or Task Report. To migrate any incomplete personal tasks, go to Workbox > Personal Tasks and follow the prompts.
  • The wiki markup based Tasklist Macro has been removed from the macro browser. If you have a Tasklist macro on a page it will continue to work, but you will be unable to add new Tasklists using this macro.


View tasks

There are a number of ways to keep track of tasks assigned to you, or tasks you've created for others. 
Basics for tasks are explained below for more information read the following Atlassian page: Add, Assign and View Tasks.

View in a task report

 Create a task report:

    1. Choose Create > Task Report
    2. Select the type of report:
      • Assigned to my team – for tasks assigned to particular people.
      • In my project – for tasks that appear in a specific space or parent page.
      • Custom – for a wide range of filtering options, including by date or page label.
    3. Follow the prompts to create the report.

This blueprint uses the Task Report Macro. You can also choose to use this macro on an existing page, for example, on a project or team space homepage.

Labels

Labels are key words or tags that you can add to pages, blog posts and attachments. You can define your own labels and use them to categorize, identify or bookmark content in Confluence.

...

Because labels are user-defined, you can add any word that helps you identify the content in your site.

Below the basics for label usage is explained,  if you want to know more read the following Atlassian page: Add, Remove and Search for Labels and Display Pages with Label Macros.

Label a page or blog post

Any user with permission to edit a page can add labels to it. Any existing labels appear at the bottom-right of the page, below the page content.
