Preferences

Auto-Assign Rule

Automatically assign new tasks to a team member when creating tasks.

RuleBehavior
Task Creator (Default)Each member is automatically assigned to the tasks they create
NoneNo auto-assignment
Project LeadAuto-assign to project owner
Fewer TasksAuto-assign to the member with fewest active tasks
Specific UserAuto-assign to a chosen team member
Manual selection always overrides auto-assignment. You can still add or remove assignees after creation.

Assignee Sort Rule

Controls how members appear in the assignee dropdown.

RuleBehavior
NoneAlphabetical by name
Fewer TasksMembers with fewer active tasks first
Project LeadProject owner at top
RandomRandomized for fair distribution

Task Deletion

Controls who can delete tasks in this project. Only Owners and Admins can change this setting.

OptionWho can delete tasks
Owner onlyOnly the project Owner
Owner & Admins (Default)Owner and Admins
All members (legacy behavior)Owner, Admins, and Members
Deleted tasks are moved to the project Bin (see below) instead of being permanently removed.

Bin

The Bin tab holds deleted tasks for 30 days before they are permanently removed.

  • Restore a task to bring it back with its original task number, sub-tasks, comments, attachments, and time logs (it returns to Drafts if its original group or sprint no longer exists)
  • Delete forever permanently removes a Bin item (Owners and Admins only)
  • Search by title or task number, with pagination for large Bins

Who can see the Bin follows the Task Deletion setting: Owners and Admins always; Members only when the project allows all members to delete tasks. Items older than 30 days are permanently deleted automatically.

Danger Zone

Critical actions that cannot be undone:

Delete Project

  • Permanently removes the project
  • Deletes all tasks, sprints, and groups
  • Cannot be recovered
  • Only Owner can delete
Warning: Make sure to export data first if needed.

Auto-Save

Most settings auto-save when changed:

  • Name, description, dates
  • Icon and color
  • Status changes

No "Save" button needed—changes apply immediately.

Tips

  • Update status to reflect actual project state
  • Use icons for quick visual identification
  • Set dates for timeline features to work properly
  • Review members periodically for access control
