List tasks and projects

Get a list of all the project or tasks you are assigned to:

/itmplatform list [projects| tasks] of [project name] on [date]

/itmplatform list [projects| tasks] of [project name] between [start date] and [end date]

  • Example: /itmplatform list
  • Example: /itmplatform list projects
  • Example: /itmplatform list tasks

You can use date filters using “on” for exact dates or “between” to define a date range

  • Example: /itmplatform list tasks on 23-09-2016
  • Example: /itmplatform list projects between 01-09-2016 and 01-11-2016

Use the word “of” to limit the task list to a particular project only, specifying the project name after the word “of”

  • Example: /itmplatform list tasks of Software Development Project

Note: many of the commands below can easily be executed through the buttons we provide when retrieving a list of projects or tasks. 

Report hours on a task

/itmplatform reporthours [task] of [project] [date] [hh:mm]

If you leave the date empty, hours will be reported for today.

  • Example: /itmplatform reporthours testing of development project 23-07-2016 05:00

Track a project or a task’s progress

/itmplatform progress [task | project] of [project] percentage

The command allows you to check a task or a project. You can specify the task’s name, the project’s name, or you can use the word “of” to refer to a project in particular.

Leave a comment on a project or task

/itmplatform comment on [task | project] of [project]: your comment

The command allows you to leave a comment on either a task or a project. You can either specify just the task name or just the project name or alternatively use the word “of” to refer to a task of a particular project.

  • Example: /itmplatform comment on development project this is going well
  • Example: /itmplatform comment on testing of development project this is going well
