Mastering the Axos task board

Boards are just filtered views

Under the hood, every task in your workspace lives in a single flat pool. A board is a saved filter over that pool — for example "assignee = me and due within 7 days". This means adding a task to two boards is a matter of matching both filters, not of duplicating the task.

The three built-in boards

Every fresh Axos workspace ships with three boards: Today (due today or overdue), Week (due within 7 days), and Inbox (created but not yet routed to a board). Delete them, keep them, add to them — the workspace does not care.

Recurring rules

Tasks can carry a recurrence rule: every day, every N days, every weekday, every week on day X, monthly on the Nth day, or a raw cron string for advanced cases. Completing a recurring task materialises the next occurrence. Snoozing preserves the rule.

Dependencies

Any task can depend on the completion of another. A depended-on task blocks the dependent from being scheduled until it closes. Cascading due-date propagation is opt-in per dependency.

Filters that pay for themselves

The three filters most Axos users tell us they built and never turned off: "no due date and older than 14 days" (find lingering commitments), "completed this week grouped by board" (weekly-review fodder), "assigned to me and blocked" (things that need me to unblock someone).
