Sprint Tasks

You can manage tasks from the Sprint planning widget. The list of available tasks that are not related to a sprint is located under the sprint list. It contains all active tasks except for the Subtasks. The tasks are sorted in ascending order according to the Rank. When the tasks' ranks are identical, the system checks their Priority. If the priorities are identical as well, the tasks are sorted according to the creation date: the tasks that were created earlier are located lower in the list.

Example of task sorting

Task	Rank
Defect 1	1
Epic 1 Feature 1 Feature 2	2 2 3
Epic 2 Feature 3	3 1
User story 1	4

To open the task preview modal window, click on the right of its number.

Use drop-down list in the left upper corner of the page to filter the task list. The list only contains tasks with no sprint specified. The filter criteria are described in the table below:

Filter	Tasks in the list
New project tasks	Active project tasks in the New state.
Tasks without a project	Active tasks of all types in the New state if they comply with both of the following criteria: The Project field is empty. The Product field is empty or filled in with the current project product.
All available tasks	All tasks that match the New project tasks, Current project tasks, or Tasks without a project filter criteria.
Current project tasks	Active project tasks in the New, Backlog, Development, Review, Testing, and Done states.

tip

If the parent task (for instance, an epic or feature) does not comply with the conditions of the selected filter, and its child task does, then the child task is displayed in the list as a separate task of the higher level.
