Create groups & understand the structure

Groups bucket tasks inside a space. The hierarchy is simple: Space → Group → Task.

1The structure: Space → Group → Task

Doku has just three levels, so there's very little to learn:

Space — the container (a team, a client, a project area).
Group — a bucket of related tasks inside the space (for example “Backend”, “Q3 Launch”, or “Bugs”).
Task — a single item of work that belongs to a group (or sits ungrouped).

On the task list, every group is a collapsible section and its tasks are listed underneath it. Tasks that don't belong to any group show up under a standalone section.

Task list showing several groups, each containing tasks — A space's task list, with tasks organized into groups.

2Create a group

From the task list, add a new group and give it a name. New tasks can then be created directly inside it, and you can drag tasks between groups at any time.

The add-group control on the task list — Adding a new group to the task list.

You can rename or delete a group later from the group's menu, and reorder groups by dragging them. Deleting a group does not delete its tasks — they fall back to ungrouped.
