Task workspace

Tasks

Tasks are a full task workspace with five switchable views, sub-tasks, dependencies, recurring work, labels, checklists, date ranges, and Maximo AI assignment — for people and AI alike.

ViewsBoard, Table, List, Calendar, Timeline
StructureSub-tasks, dependencies, recurring, labels, checklists, date range, estimate
OrganizeGroup / filter / sort, 'Mine' quick filter, drag reorder
AI workInstructions, first wake, wake every minutes, max runs, channels
  • Switch between five views over the same tasks: Board (Kanban), Table, List, Calendar, and Timeline (Gantt).
  • Group by status, priority, assignee, project, or label; filter by status, priority, assignee, project, label, and due window; sort manually, by due date, priority, created, or title; and flip on 'Mine' to focus on your own work.
  • Drag cards between board columns and reorder within a column; drag or resize bars on the Timeline to change start and due dates, with dependency arrows shown between linked tasks.
  • Break work down with sub-tasks (with an auto progress bar), in-task checklists, multi-color labels, an estimate/size, and a start-to-due date range.
  • Link dependencies as 'waiting on' or 'blocks', and set recurring tasks that automatically spawn the next occurrence when you complete them.
  • Open any card for the detail drawer to edit status, checklist, sub-tasks, dependencies, and progress notes inline.
  • Assign a task to Maximo AI when the work should be researched, watched, summarized, checked later, or repeated without a person staying in live chat — with instructions, first wake time, wake-every interval, max runs, and notification channels.
  • Employee Viewer accounts get a focused view of their assigned tasks and can update status and add progress notes. Open-task capacity is controlled by plan limits (sub-tasks don't count).
  • Your chosen view, grouping, sort, and 'Mine' preference are remembered per device, and everything stays compact and readable on mobile and desktop, in day or night mode.

Fast answers

Easy FAQs

What should I do first after creating a business?

Open Business Settings, complete the company profile, set the currency, upload the logo, confirm billing, then add clients, inventory, or leads depending on what the business sells.

Why do I see a plan or upgrade message?

The app checks the active workspace's effective subscription, subscription state, and usage caps before opening or changing protected records. Owner-created workspaces can inherit the owner's account plan from another billing-home workspace, while joined team workspaces use that company's owner plan. A 402 response usually means the effective plan is free, inactive, or has reached a limit for that feature. File Manager checks file count, storage, and per-file upload size: Free 50 MB, Plus 250 MB, Pro 2 GB, and Max 10 GB. AI Images checks image credits, daily and personal caps, model access, source limits, File Manager count, and storage. Maximo Cloud Computer checks computer minutes, daily/monthly caps, max run length, and concurrency. Gemini Live starts on Pro, while Grok Voice remains available on paid plans. Support also follows the plan: Free uses guide, community, and email; Pro and Max include monthly Google Meet allowances.

What does RPB mean on the benchmark page?

RPB means Real Performance Benchmark. It is MyTabulon's evidence-adjusted public model score for real agentic business work, combining task completion, tool call accuracy, reasoning, safety, user sentiment, latency, and cost efficiency.

Which records can global search find?

Global search can find feature pages plus clients, leads, inventory, invoices, quotes, deals, projects, tasks, files, expenses, team members, and AI chats within the active company when the signed-in user's role allows it. Member file results are limited to files and folders they uploaded, added, or generated, and sensitive owner/admin destinations stay hidden.

What does MyTabulon Calendar show?

MyTabulon Calendar combines appointments, task due dates, AI task wakeups, approval deadlines, automation workflows, AI jobs, customer reminders, lead follow-ups, invoice due dates, project start and due dates, and payroll reminders. Use month, week, agenda, search, source filters, and the selected-day panel to inspect the schedule without changing the source records.

What are the main keyboard shortcuts?

Use Ctrl K or Meta K for the command palette, ? or Ctrl / for the reference, Ctrl B or Meta B for the sidebar, g chords for navigation, n chords for quick create, and r r to refresh page data.

How do payment links stay safe?

Payment links use long random tokens. Share the generated link, receipt, PDF, or email with customers, not a dashboard URL. The invoice number helps the business identify a document but is not the secret.

What is Business Memory used for?

Business Memory stores durable company knowledge for Maximo AI: facts, preferences, style, source records, private notes, approved memories, retention rules, provenance, and conflict checks. It is available only to business owners and administrators. Company memories describe shared business facts; first-person or personal work memories stay private to the originating user. Members, Viewers, and Employee Viewers cannot open memory, search it through Maximo chat or voice, receive selected memory in AI context, or have their chats silently captured into company memory.

Can Maximo schedule AI work from chat or voice?

Yes for owners and administrators. Chat and voice share the same Maximo tool layer, so either one can create scheduled AI tasks when the user has permission and asks Maximo to wake later, watch a live event, repeat checks, keep them updated, assign work to AI, or run a realtime monitor. The job can set a first wake time, optional stop time, wake-every interval in minutes, max runs, and notification channels, then save every update in a normal chat log.

What does wake every mean on a scheduled AI task?

Wake every is measured in minutes. It controls the gap between repeated AI updates after the first wake time. Use 0 or leave the repeat interval off for a one-time run, or set a value such as 15 to have Maximo check again every 15 minutes until the stop time or max runs is reached.

Can I assign a task to Maximo AI?

Yes. Tasks can be assigned to a person or to Maximo AI. When assigned to AI, the task can include instructions, first wake time, wake-every interval in minutes, max runs, and delivery channels. The task stays linked to its scheduled AI job, and the user can edit, unassign, pause, resume, stop, delete, run now, or open the saved chat log from AI Automations.

Who can add or manage Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) connections?

Only Business Owners and Administrators have permissions to manage BYOM connections and import/edit models under Settings > Integrations > Bring Your Own Model. Workspace Members and Viewers cannot manage connections.
