Understanding Features of Location Launcher

✨ Key Features of Location Launcher ✨

Multiple Boards

• Your current board labeled as ‘Default Board’ and can create additional boards tailored to specific location types or operational needs.
• You have the flexibility to rename the default board and create new ones, allowing for better organization and targeted management of different location launches.

Customizable Views

Categorize your tasks for a seamless viewing experience

Assignee Management

When adding a location, you have the ability to modify both phase and task assignees specifically for that location!

• Role Management:
   
  • Phase Assignees: When assignees are added to a phase, they are automatically assigned to all tasks within that phase. This ensures that everyone necessary is included in the project segment without manually adding them to each task.
  • Task-Specific Assignees: Users can modify assignees for individual tasks which does not affect the overall phase assignees. This allows for specialized task management without disrupting the general workflow.

Phase & Task Management Dependencies 

• Unlock Dates and Dynamic Triggers:
  
  • Both phases and tasks can utilize dynamic triggers for their unlock dates and deadlines. These triggers can be set based on specific dates or dependent on the completion of preceding tasks or phases. For example, a task may unlock "20 days after completion of another phase" or "upon the completion of a prior task," enhancing the adaptability of project timelines to real-time progress.
  
• Simplified Timing Rules:

• • The time frame for each phase is defined by the difference between when the first task becomes active and when the last task is due.
  • It's important to note that a phase or task can have a custom unlock date, but not both simultaneously. If a phase is set with an unlock date, all tasks within that phase will automatically inherit this setting unless specified otherwise for individual tasks.
  • It is important to understand that a phase or task cannot have both a custom unlock date and a custom deadline date set at the same time. If you establish a custom unlock date, the default deadline will automatically be set to the project's go-live date. Conversely, if you set a custom deadline, the default unlock date will revert to the project's start date.

• Categorization and Task Dependencies:

• • Customizable Views: You can categorize tasks and phases based on their priorities and roles, which helps in segmenting the project into more manageable parts. This categorization supports better resource allocation and focus on varying project demands.
  • Flexible Dependencies: Tasks can have dependencies set, meaning the start of one task can depend on the completion of another, ensuring a logical flow of operations and preventing process bottlenecks.

Custom Task Categories

Launcher includes a set of predefined task categories. These built‑in categories allow you to quickly filter and sort Launcher Tasks by "Task Type", so you can focus on specific kinds of work without manually scanning every item.

If you need more tailored organization, you can create a **Custom Task Category**. Custom categories are especially useful when you want to:

- Group tasks by your internal processes or terminology

- Build views for specific teams, locations, or project phases

- Enable more advanced filtering for reporting or day‑to‑day management

By combining preset and custom categories, you can design a task structure that aligns closely with your operational workflows.

Comments on Launcher Tasks ✨ (NEW)

Users can now add comments directly to tasks in the Launcher Task view, making it easier to keep task-related questions and updates in one place. Simply @mention the user you intend to tag and keep updates, notes, and questions in one place!
