Task Details
Click any task card to open its detail view — where all its information, comments, files, and progress live.
Tabs
The detail view has three tabs:
- Details — properties, assignees, conditions, subtasks, recurrence, and time tracking
- Comments — the discussion thread
- Files — attachments
Properties
The Details tab shows:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Current column |
| Priority | Low, Medium, High, Critical |
| Assignees | Add or remove people |
| Start / End Date | Timeline |
| Reminder | When you'll be reminded before the end date |
| Estimated Hours | Expected effort |
| Epic | Parent initiative |
| Tags | Custom labels |
Click Edit to change properties (if you have permission).
To cancel a task, use Delete — cancelling isn't a status you set manually.
Comments
Discuss the task with your team: type a message and click Send. You can reply to a comment, and delete your own comments.
Subtasks
Break the task into smaller items. Add subtasks with + Add Subtask and check them off as they're done.
Time Tracking
Instead of logging hours manually, Arketic tracks time automatically. A Time Tracking panel shows elapsed time against the target (from estimated hours, the date range, or an SLA), a progress bar with a warning threshold, and whether the task finished on time. See Time Tracking.
Completion Conditions
If the task has completion conditions, they appear here. All required ones must be met before you can mark the task Done. See Completion Conditions.
Recurrence
Turn a task into a repeating one from the Recurrence section. See Recurring Tasks.
Shared Tasks
If a task was shared with you from another department, you'll see a note that it's read-only — you can comment and upload files. Choose Edit this task to unlock editing.
