View ArticleSmarter Task Assignment
Introducing User Recommendation - the first feature of 'Smart Redbooth' - a collection of tools to simplify task and project management.
The concept behind User Recommendation is to make applying key features of a task (user, due date) both easier and faster. In order to improve this experience, we added a 'smart' layer that is both lightweight and convenient.
Due-date recommendation
This version shows both the User and Due date(coming soon!) recommendations. They are highlighted purple for effect only.
How it works
Location
User Recommendation contains two basic elements. First is the location of the user recommendation feature. It lives right next to your existing user assignment settings, and is activated simply by hovering over the field. To assign users to a task, click the users in 'Assign to'. This is both time saving (fewer clicks) and ensures you are assigning the task to the most appropriate users.
The current drop down of users is still available if you wish to assign to someone else, or use the search feature.
We will also introduce user recommendation in the task card popovers at a later date.
Recommendations
The second element includes the recommendations themselves.
The first recommended user is you, the 'task assigner', which is existing behavior in Redbooth.
The next user is the one most likely to be associated with similar tasks, based on history of that user and task names. We are calling this the smart recommendation because this is the one that the recommendation engine is providing. If you click a smart user, one more recommended user will appear.
The third user is the most popular assigned user in the workspace.
In total there will be four recommendations in this hover area.
User Recommendation as it currently appears. A user is highlighted purple on mouse-hover.
Availability
User Recommendation is currently available for all Business plan and Business preview customers.
User Recommendation is followed by and additional tools to help teams track the progress of their tasks and projects.
Troubleshooting
Don't see the recommendation? If the user recommendation engine does not find a match, it will not always show a recommendation.

View ArticleRedbooth is a fantastic platform for communication and collaboration, which is why our Android app allows you to stay just as productive when on-the-go. You can download the app from the Google Play store.
About the Android AppUsing the Android app is similar to using the web platform in Redbooth, although there are certain features which are not available on the app. You log in as normal using your Redbooth credentials.
The default page for the app is My Tasks. This displays all of your tasks that are assigned to you, and are divided by due date. On this screen only, the red circle with a + allows you to create a task in the app.
To navigate through the app, use the bottom bar to get to Workspaces and notifications. By clicking on the icon marked by three dots which is in the upper right corner you can join workspaces, access your settings, and use the search feature.
Notifications in AndroidYour notifications are sorted by time. You can dismiss each one individually or click on the Dismiss All tab at the top to clear all notifications. You can allow push notifications by configuring your settings on the Android device. You can access the notification to view the task or conversation by tapping on it. To dismiss it, just swipe right or left.
We are continually adding new features to the app, however, the Timeline view is not yet available.

View ArticleCongratulations on signing up with Redbooth! Now you need to configure your profile, invite your team, create workspaces for your projects, and start collaborating on tasks.
Step 1One of the first things you need to set up is your profile. Don't forget to verify your account by clicking on the verification link sent to your email!
As shown above, you need to access your profile settings via the top right of your screen. Here you can choose your display name, profile picture, login email, and notification settings. You can also select the language you wish to have Redbooth displayed in.
Step 2Don't waste any time invite your team to Redbooth right away! It isn't necessary for your colleagues to create their own Redbooth account. All you need to do is invite them and they will automatically have their own account within your organization. This is important to remember!
Once invited, your team members will receive a invitation to their email account. They must click on this link in order to access their account and your organization.
Step 3Now that your team is on board, why not create some workspaces to collaborate in? A workspace is where you can store all information and action items relating to a specific project. You can add your whole team to every workspace, or only add those that will work on a specific project.
Create a test workspace for you and your team to get up to speed with Redbooth. A good idea might be to call the workspace HQ. Here, each member can create an introductory conversation as well as test out the different features of tasks and workspaces.
Going forward, this workspace can be used for anything related to your team or office.
Step 4Get to know your dashboard. This is the hub of your Redbooth and displays any tasks that are assigned to you. It also tracks all updates to tasks that you are assigned to or following.
Step 5Start assigning tasks ! Your team will soon be wondering where their workload is, so start creating and assigning them tasks.
Remember the hierarchy is as follows in Redbooth:
Organization > workspace > task list > tasks
That means that every task will belong to a workspace and a task list.
View ArticleCalendar reporting allows you to stay organized and report on the number of active and resolved tasks each team member has. This reporting feature is available to all subscriptions, but external users do not have access.

This is a good way to keep members of your team updated on a task without assigning them to the task.
Open up a task.
Click on the followermenu that is marked with the icon of two profiles.
Enter the users name or select from the list available.
Click on the box to the right and it will turn blue.
Click the blue Done button. If you do not do this, your changeswon'tsave.
Another option is to @mention a colleague in the task description or a comment on the task.Mentioning someone with @username in a task they are not a part of will automatically make that user a follower of the task. The same applies to conversations.
You can simply type in @ and choose from the list of users displayed. Select @all to get the attention of all assignees and followers.
Professional and Business subscriptions can add multiple assignees to tasks!

View ArticleRedbooth is excited to release several new features designed to help our users organize tasks, plan projects, and customize the experience for their specific needs.
this article
New workspace design. Details subject to change before release.
Over the next several weeks, we will roll out a series of updates to Redbooths design, workspace navigation and task details. Information for each update is highlighted below.
Our product roadmap comes directly from our users through interviews, real world testing, and feedback from users. If you feel strongly about something, please let us know!
Product-wide design updates
Colors
We begin by updating and expanding the global color palette, including replacing the teal blue with a new "Indigo" purple for tasks, buttons, hover-states, text field borders, and more. Users will notice this change on many of our non-product pages including login, billing, and plans.
After many years of omitting 'red', we felt it was time to carefully include this sensitive color by introducing just a touch of it with our Redbooth icon and new workspace color options.
The product navigation bar (the top row) will feature a white background and grey text that turns Indigo purple when selected. Users will also notice the addition of the Redbooth icon on the top left, which will take you to the dashboard.
The names of our two new colors are Indigo purple and London red.
Fonts
Following the color update we are introducing a new font "Lato' that will be aligned across our marketing website and all Redbooth products.
The rollout for fonts and colors was completed in late Feb and early March.
Improvements to Workspace Navigation
Teams spend most of their time in Workspaces, organizing tasks and planning their projects. Because of its importance, this is the first feature we wanted to improve.
Updates to the Workspace will start with navigation. Our goal is to make accessing the views and features of workspaces as clear and simple as possible.
Views
There are several ways to interact with workspaces, and users wanted it to be more intuitive to switch between the views. We are simplifying access to Side, Column, and Timeline Views by converting these buttons to icons and aligning to the left.
The 'List view' will show task lists in a vertical scroll format, which is more intuitive for some use cases than the left-to-right scroll of a Kanban board.Redbooth users prior to 2017 will recognize the Size view, but it will be new for anyone who signed up since January 2017.
Updates Views, location, and icon format were released in mid March.
Features
Tasks, Conversations, Files, and Notes were centered and changed to text from icons. Their new location in the center of the screen makes for easier identification and selection when you need to quickly navigate between them.
This update does not include changes to the features themselves.
Menus
Less frequently accessed Settings and Members pages are moving to the right side of the navigation view and will still be identified as icons.
The Workspace Options menus will include both Sort, Show, and Actions. Improvements to Task sorting make it easier to sort and identify tasks by due date, assignee.
Task Cards and details
Following navigation we will release some of our most exciting workspace improvements, including task cards and details. Users in a workspace will now see much more detail about their tasks, and in a new format that matches the real behavior of a task.
Card Format
Redbooth tasks have unique qualities to them, but are hidden when shown as standard lists. Drag and drop and multi-select functionality were not clear, and the view feels like a simple to-do list. But in team project management, tasks are living entities and to highlight that unique character, we are updating the task to a card format.
Task Details
Cards will surface task details that provide important task information without having to click in to the tasks to view. Thanks to everyone who voted in our forums; this is one of our most popular request. To view more details on Task Cards, please read .
# of comments on taskWhen viewing all tasks in in the workspace, it can be difficult to see which tasks are being commented on by your team. We will show the # of comments in a task alongside a small icon.
Subtask + subtask ratioBeneath a task are many, sometimes dozens of subtasks. We are surfacing the number of subtasks, including the number of completed subtasks. 1/2, 3/5, etc. We are introducing color to indicate two additional states of subtasks.
If any of the subtasks are assigned to you, the subtask icon is dark grey.
Note: Deleted subtasks and comments will not be counted in the task card totals.
Multiple assignee avatarsIn order to view multiple assignees to a task, we are updating the task card to show the first three users assigned. This is an increase of the 1 avatar currently shown.
Due dates and date rangesTo preserve valuable space in a task card and make it easy to read, we are removing the date suffixes.
Current format: Feb 1st - Feb 12th
Updated format: Feb 1 - Feb 12
Task Cards and Task Details will start rolling out in March (updated).
Tags
Following the color, font, task card, and workspace design updates, we will release Redbooth Tags, an advanced tagging system that will allow teams to organize tasks with Status, Priority, and additional tagging grouping options.
Tags will be available to all user in May(updated). Stay tuned for more details!
View ArticleAugust 2018
Tags will soon receive a major update on Aug 16th. The Tags features was inspired by our customers wanting better customization and organization in their Redbooth projects. Thanks to the many Redbooth users who shared their ideas with us.
Tags includes many benefits to your use of Redbooth, and results in several changes to current tags. This article is important if you currently use Tags and/or want to improve your Redbooth tasks with additional fields, colors, statuses and more.
Advanced Tags
Redbooth Tags are an advanced method for adding additional fields to your Tasks, Conversations and Notes. The ability to label, color, categorize, and sort tags allows users to customize their task management more personally and effectively. Tags also includes settings for Priority, Status, and a flexible Tag Group option to create any category of related tags.
Apply a tag by clicking on the tag bar below the title of a Task, Note, or Conversation.
Tags includes several components that work to provide the ultimate tag experience.
Tag Picker. Easily apply or create new tags.
Tag Library is a central place for all of your tags.
Tag Groups are custom lists or related tags (default includes Priority and Support)
Sorting Tags. The tag order is reflected in the Sort and applied to tasks in the workspace.
A few notes on Tags:
Tags are saved at the organization level.
We migrated any "#tags" created previously in your account to the library.
The default tag color is slate grey. There are 16 total colors to choose for tags.
Tag names are case sensitive. Spaces in tags are replaced with -
You no longer create a tag by adding a #tag to the task name.
Existing # hashtags will be converted into your organizations tag library
Participants can create tasks, but only Admins can edit or delete them.
Free plan: Create tags with default color. Default Priority and Status tags.
Pro plan: Select colors, edit Priority and Status tags including tag names, details and tag order
Business plan: Create custom tag groups.
Tag Picker
The tag picker contains all tags in your library, and allows for easily searching, creating and adding tags to tasks. This is the Tag element you will interact with the most because is it activated anytime you click on the tag bar in Tasks, Conversations and Notes. With the tag picker, users can:
View all tags
View tags by group
Create new tags
Quick access the Tag Library
The tag picker will auto-select available tags based on your text. When a tag name is at the top of the picker, simply click [Enter] to select. Click [Delete] to remove the applied tag. If the picker does not detect an existing tag, click [Enter] to create a new tag.
Pro and Business Admins can apply a color to the new tags in the Tag Picker.
Tag Library
The Library is a central place to manage all tags and tag groups in your Redbooth organization. Because of the power of tags, many of the tag settings are accessible only to Admins. When creating Tags, we migrated any existing "#tags" in your tasks and they will appear in your Library. Be sure to edit and delete any tags that are no longer important.
Creating Tags
Before creating a new tag, search to see if it already exists. If not, click Create Tag to get started. New tags are automatically added to the ungrouped tags.
Free: Create custom tags
Pro and Business: Assign a color and group
Editing Tags
Before deleting tags, it may be good wise to simply edit them. Rename, change colors, and more. This change will apply to all tags used throughout Redbooth. If you have a lot of tags, it can take 1-2 seconds of the edit to update.
Only Admins can edit tags.
Deleting Tags
Sometimes a tag is no longer useful and is better to be deleted than misused. Deleting a tag will remove that tag everywhere it is used. This cannot be undone, so make sure you are deleting the right tags. If you have lot of tags, please note it can take 1-2 seconds to delete a tag.
Because of the potential mishaps with deleting tags, only Admins can delete tags.
Tag Groups
Add additional organization to your tags with groups. A tag group is collection of related tags, to easily manage and track your different tag functions and apply a sorting level when viewing tasks in workspaces. Tags with 1 will show first in the workspace sort. New tags will automatically be added to the bottom of the tag order. Drag and drop tags to reorder their sort.
Priority and Status
Every Redbooth account comes with two default groups: Priority and Status.
Pro customers can edit the tags in the default groups.
Business customers can create new groups for their specific tag needs.
Examples of Tag Groups that inspired this feature:
Task size: Small, Medium, Large. 1,2,3,4,5.
Time: Days, Weeks, Months, Quarters, Years.
People: Users, teams, customers/client names
Personal: Anything that applies to your specific business or industry
Notes:
You cannot repeat tag names in groups. Delete a tag group (Biz only) will not delete the tags. They will move to ungrouped.
Sorting Tags
Tags become even more powerful when organizing tasks in a workspace. Using the tag order that is enabled for each tag group, the sort can be applied to the list and column views of each workspaces.
Teams who wish to organize tasks in a specific order of priority, status, or any other way will be able to sort their tags in a single click from the Sort setting in the top right of the workspace.
A new Sort menu item powers all task sorting now. Users can apply one task sort (Due date, Assignee) and one tag sort simultaneously.
Tags on Mobile
Redbooth will offer the ability to view, apply, and create options on mobile devices. Editing and deleting of tags are not available on mobile.
iOS
On iOS, users can view and create tags on cards and tasks.
Android
On Android, users can view tags on cards and tasks.
