## What Tasks is for

**Tasks** is your personal to-do manager inside TotalCtrl. Unlike most apps in the suite, your tasks are private to you — they are scoped to your own account, not shared across your team. Every task you create is visible only to you.
## The three core views

The sidebar gives you three built-in views that are really just smart filters over all your tasks:

- **Inbox** — your default catch-all. Any task you add without choosing a list lands here. It is the place to dump ideas quickly and sort them later.
- **Today** — every open task due today, plus anything overdue so nothing slips through.
- **Upcoming** — the next seven days laid out day by day, so you can plan ahead.

## Lists, priorities, and more

Beyond the built-in views, you can group tasks into your own **Lists** (shown under *My Lists* in the sidebar), set a **priority** from P1 (urgent) to P4 (low), add **due dates**, attach **tags**, break work into **sub-tasks**, and add **notes**, **comments**, and **file attachments** to any task.
