Tasks

Tasks are the work you owe someone. AlphOne opens on the day’s list, and that list is the main screen of the product: work it top to bottom and push forward whatever did not happen.

The day

The Tasks screen shows one day at a time. The chevrons either side of the heading move to the previous and next day, and a Today link appears whenever you are looking at another day.

Everything on the screen belongs to you. Tasks are owned by the person they are assigned to, and the day list only shows your own.

Adding work

The field above the list adds a task to the day on screen. Type a title and press Enter. That is the fast path, meant for capturing work while you are on the phone.

New task opens the full form, where a task also gets a priority and an optional contact. Search for the person by name and pick them, and the task is linked to them from both sides.

Completing

Complete moves a task into the Done group at the bottom of the day, which stays collapsed until you open it. Completed work is kept in view rather than disappearing, so a misclick is one Reopen away and the finished pile is visible at the end of the day.

Overdue work

Open tasks from earlier days appear in an Overdue section above today’s list, each showing the date it was originally due. They are never folded silently into today. Moving them forward is something you do, not something the app does behind your back.

Rescheduling

Push to tomorrow moves a task to the day after today, whatever it was due before. A task that has been overdue for a week lands on tomorrow, not on a date that is still in the past. This is the no-answer pattern: call, no reply, push, and it comes back tomorrow.

For any other date, open the task and edit its due date directly.

Tasks on a contact

A contact’s page lists the open tasks linked to that person, across everyone on the team, and has its own field for adding one. It answers the question you have while looking at somebody: what do we owe them.
