Task Summary Overview

The Task Summary panel is a tool in the Tasks app that enables you to view high-level status information for the public tasks and task milestones in your project. This can be useful in planning meetings when tracking or monitoring your tasks according to their statuses. The panel contains a configurable selection of checks that indicate certain details about your tasks, including overdue status, tasks with slack, tasks with commitments, and unplanned tasks. Some checks include minimum criteria threshold values that determine if a task will be included in the check's count. You can prioritize and update your tasks according to their various statuses.

Task Summary details, including check criteria values, can be modified in the project settings. Individual checks can be enabled or disabled according to your organization's needs.

The Task Summary panel is available at the project level for the Work Plan, Hand-offs, and Task List pages.
