In MeisterTask, all tasks are created and managed within projects, which are the primary structure where tasks are organized. Although tasks are created in projects, they can be displayed elsewhere (e.g. the Tasks area) for easier access and better organization.

The Tasks area (formerly known as Agenda) is a private pinnboard where you can pin important tasks from your projects to a custom pinboard. This area does not allow you to create new tasks directly but helps you organize and track tasks from many different projects in one centralized place.

To access the Tasks area in MeisterTask, simply click Tasks in the left sidebar. To quickly create a new task in a project, use the keyboard shortcut N. Press N to immediately open the task creation window.

What is the Tasks area (formerly Agenda)?

The Tasks area is an individualized private pinboard which allows you to keep track of tasks from many different projects in one centralized place.

It can be easily accessed via the task icon on the left sidebar. Create a pinboard that works for you in two easy steps:

1. Add sections to your area and arrange them in a way which suits your needs. 
2. Pin tasks from any project to your these sections.

Customize your sections in your Tasks area (formerly Agenda)

You can customize your Tasks section by renaming, arranging and changing the color of your sections. 

• Rename an existing section by clicking the name on the section header and directly editing the text.
• Rearrange your sections by clicking and dragging the section header.
• Change a section's color by hovering your mouse over the section header and selecting the arrow to access the drop-down menu.
  
• Sort the tasks in each section by hovering your mouse over the section header and selecting the downwards arrow to access the drop-down menu. 
  
  

Add/Delete sections in your Tasks area (formerly Agenda) 

To add a new section to your Tasks area, scroll to the right and click the + icon.

To delete a section, hover your mouse over the section header, click the small arrow and select Delete from the drop-down menu.

Pin Tasks to your Tasks area (formerly Agenda)

There are two ways to pin a task to your Tasks area:

1. While viewing a project, open any task and click the pin icon in the upper-right hand corner of the task window. You can then select which section you'd like this task to be pinned to.
   
   
   
   
2. While viewing your Tasks area (formerly Agenda), you can pin a task by dragging and dropping a task from the Task Inbox to any section of your agenda.
   
   

   The Task Inbox

   The Task Inbox is the leftmost section on your screen. It shows suggestions of tasks you might like to pin. You can click on the arrow in the header to choose between tasks assigned to you or recent tasks.

   
   

Remove a Pinned Task from your Tasks area (formerly Agenda)

There are two ways to remove a pinned task:

2. While viewing your Tasks area, you can drag and drop a pinned task to the area above the sections to remove the pin.
