Task Fields Explained: Scope, Ownership & Prioritization
What Are Task Fields?
Task fields are the structured components that define what the work is, who it belongs to, how it should be executed, and how it should be tracked. The purpose of these fields is to ensure that a task remains clear and actionable throughout its lifecycle, including when the task involves multiple teams or lasts across time. You can view all the task fields via scrolling to right.
Scope and context fields
- Client: connects the work to the customer context (Account, Project, or Subscription).
- Store: selects the store linked to the selected account, anchoring the work in the correct store environment.
- Product: connects the work to product entities such as Brand, Tag, ASIN, or SKU and supports multi-select.
- Type: the routing control that determines Task/Ticket classification and Responsible Team assignment.
These fields define where the work “lives” operationally.
Clicking on a task opens the Detail View panel. This area is used for the active management and execution of the work:
Content fields
- Title: short and descriptive task name.
- Description: detailed explanation of the work to be done.
These fields define what the work is and provide context for collaboration.
Execution structuring field
- To-Do’s: a checklist that breaks the task into smaller actionable steps.
This field improves execution clarity and makes progress easier to track.
Ownership and visibility fields
- Assignee: the single person responsible for completing the task.
- Watchers: additional users who follow or monitor the task.
Together, these fields prevent ambiguous ownership while allowing stakeholders to follow progress.
Priority and state fields
- Priority: Medium / High.
- Status: the current state of the task.
These fields determine urgency and workflow stage, which directly affects how tasks are grouped and monitored.
Timeline and recurrence fields
- Due Date: target completion date.
- ETA: estimated completion date.
- Original Due Date: initial assigned deadline.
- Recurrence Options: how often the task will be automatically reopened.
These controls keep scheduling consistent, especially when timelines shift or work repeats.
Supporting field
- Attachments: files and documents added to the task.
This field keeps all references stored with the task record.
