✅ Widget: Tasks

Last updated on 


Use the Tasks Widget in any dashboard to keep a straightforward to-do list right where you work. Add tasks, tick them off when done, and even share them with others in a shared dashboard.

Add the Task Widget

  • Add Widget
    • In any dashboard, click Add Widget button top-right.
    • In the Widget Library, select Tasks.
    • The Task Widget will appear on your dashboard.
  • Position & Resize
    • Click and drag the Task widget to move it around.
    • Drag an edge or corner to resize.

Use the Task Widget

  • Add Tasks
    • Click inside the widget and type a task (e.g. “Prepare report”).
    • Press Enter or click + (if visible) to confirm.
  • Complete Tasks
    • Check the box next to a task to mark it as done.
  • Reorder Tasks
    • Drag a task up or down to change its position.
    • Drag tasks between Task widgets.
  • Pop Out the Widget
    • Click the pop-out icon (top of the widget) to open it in a floating window.
    • Keep it always on top or position it on a second monitor.

Tips & Tricks

  • Multiple Lists
    • Add multiple Task widgets to separate personal tasks from team tasks.
  • Share with a Team
    • Place your Task widget in a shared dashboard so everyone can see and update the same tasks.
  • Combine with Other Widgets
    • Position the Task widget alongside RSS feeds, Notes, or other widgets in the same dashboard.

Troubleshooting

  • Task Widget Not Appearing
    • Check you have clicked Tasks in the Widget Library and are on a Wavebox dashboard (not a regular tab or generic new tab page).
  • Pop-Out Window Missing
    • Use the 'magic wand' icon in Wavebox’s main toolbar to bring popped-out widgets to the front.
    • To enable the magic wand, open main Settings > General > Appearance > Secondary window title bar > Click on the magic wand.
  • Lost Tasks or Deleted Widget
    • Removing the widget removes all tasks; there’s no undo. If they’re critical, share or duplicate the widget before deleting.
  • Tasks Not Syncing on Another Computer
    • Ensure that dashboards are included in sync: Go to: Settings > General > Data & Sync and look for 'Sync Status'. Then check that 'dashboards' are highlighted in green.
