Organizing & Finding
As work piles up, finding it and dividing it well is what matters most.
A handful of cards is easy to read at a glance, but as the board fills up, quickly finding what you want and grouping like with like becomes important. toodoori helps with four things: labels, filters, sub-projects, and sorting.
Labels
Attach colored labels to classify your work — ‘Study,’ ‘Home,’ ‘Urgent,’ on your own terms. A single task can carry several labels, so you can group it from more than one angle. Manage them under Labels in project settings.
Filters
Save conditions you use often as filter presets and recall them in one tap. Bundle label and priority conditions — like ‘Urgent this week’ — to see just the tasks you want on the board, without setting the conditions up again each time.
Sub-projects
Use sub-projects to split work into threads within a single board. Keep the big flow as is, while grouping related tasks together. When one large effort holds several strands, this lets you narrow your view to one strand at a time.
Sorting
Decide the order cards appear in within each stage with sort criteria (priority, due date, and more). Keep what’s important at the top, so you don’t have to wonder where to look first every time you open the board.
Organizing serves the flow
The four aren’t separate. Labels give your work a basis, those labels feed filters, and sorting orders what’s left within a filtered view. Sub-projects bring a board with many threads back to something simple. Organizing isn’t the goal in itself — it’s a tool for finding what you want quickly and carrying it into the next step.
