The Build tab

Plan and track the work to get a landscape project installed, with tasks organised on a board by status.

Labs Preview

Build is currently a Labs Preview in both Free and Plus. Its task-board workflow is still evolving.

The Build tab is the work itself — everything that has to happen to get the project installed.

Tasks on a board

Work is broken into tasks, laid out on a board in columns by status. Moving a task from one column to the next is how progress gets recorded.

Click a task to open it. From there you can change its status, add detail, and discuss it — see Comments and activity.

Organising the board

You can change how the board is grouped so it answers the question you're actually asking — what stage is everything at, or who's doing what.

Task statuses

Like job statuses, task statuses come pre-set and can be renamed to match how your crews talk about work. See Job statuses for how the same idea works at the job level.

Tips

  • Break work down to the level you'd actually assign it. "Install irrigation" is a task; "do the garden" isn't
  • The board is a planning tool as much as a tracking one — laying the work out often surfaces the thing everyone forgot to order
