Task Management in Confluence

Adolfo Casari

I am looking for some ways to replace TaskDoc functionality in Confluence.

I tried tasklist macro but this is too basic. There is Adhoc workflow but this beyond task management.

I need a way to assign tasks within pages and manage assignees, due dates, etc. in a centralized fashion.

Thank you,

Hi Adolfo

I would recommend using:

• The built-in Tasklist macro:
  http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Tasklist+Macro
• The Tasklist Supplier macro from Customware
  https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/13447
• The Reporting Plugin (also from Customware)
  https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/186

Note that the Tasklist Supplier Plugin is not compatible with Confluence 4 / 4.1 but it's easy to fix.
If you want I can mail you a fixed version (compiled jar file) of the Tasklist Supplier Plugin...

The Reporting Plugin is also not marked compatible with Confluence 4 / 4.1 but: It just works...

Finally you can make neat reports of all tasks assigned to you (in all tasklists all over the wiki...) just like:

@{report-table:injected=true}
{expanding-reporter:tasklist:@all|as=task}
  {content-reporter:space=@global|types=page}
  {content-reporter}
  {date-sort:task:created date}
  {boolean-filter:task:is completed|value=false}
  {boolean-filter:task:is assignee @self|value=true}
{expanding-reporter}
{report-column:title=My Tasks}%expanded:task > task:name%
{report-info:expanded:item|link=true}{report-column}
{report-column:title=Priority}%expanded:task > task:priority%{report-column}
{report-column:title=Created}%expanded:task > task:created date > d.MM.yyyy%{report-column}
{report-empty}_No personal, open Tasks existing._{report-empty}
{report-table}

Of course you can make various other reports too...

I hope this helps and perhabs you like to try it out...
