Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What is Kanba-DO?

Kanba-DO is a visual task management system based on the Kanban methodology. It helps you track your work from DO ƒ+' DOING ƒ+' DONE, using tags, priorities, due dates, and analytics insights.

How do I add and manage tasks?

Use the input box in the DO section to add a task. Click tasks to edit, move between stages using the arrows, and check them off when complete.

What does "DO", "DOING", and "DONE" mean?

"DO" is for tasks yet to begin. "DOING" is for tasks in progress, and "DONE" is for completed tasks. You can move tasks between stages using the check or arrow buttons.

How do I edit an existing task?

Click on any task card to open the editing modal. From there, you can change the task name, priority, description, due date, and tags. Click "Save" to apply changes.

What happens when I click the checkbox icon?

Clicking the checkbox moves the task through DO ƒ+' DOING ƒ+' DONE. If clicked again on a completed task, it moves back through the stages.

Tags & Priorities

What are tags used for?

Tags help categorize your tasks (e.g., #school, #urgent). You can click on a tag to filter tasks by it and focus on a particular theme or category.

How do I add or remove tags?

You can add tags when creating or editing a task. Use the input field and press enter after each tag. Tags can also be deleted individually while editing.

How does tag filtering work?

Clicking a tag filters your task list to show only tasks with that tag. A filter badge appears at the top, and clicking it again clears the filter.

How do task priorities work?

Tasks can be low (blue), medium (orange), or high (red) priority. You can set this when creating or editing a task to help organize urgency.

Why are some tasks highlighted in color?

Tasks with colored borders represent priority or urgency: red for overdue, yellow for near due, and gray or blue for regular priority.

Import & Export

How do I import tasks?

Go to the Import/Export panel, choose a JSON file or paste task JSON into the textarea, and click Import.

Example JSON format:

[
  {
    "text": "Finish math assignment",
    "description": "Chapter 3, questions 1-10",
    "priority": "high",
    "duedate": "2025-10-12",
    "checked": false,
    "dateAdded": "2025-10-08T10:00:00.000Z",
    "status": "do",
    "tags": "school,urgent"
  }
]
How do I export tasks?

Use the Export as JSON or Export as CSV button in the Import/Export panel to save your tasks to your device.

Can I undo imports?

Not at the moment. Itƒ?Ts best to export or backup your tasks before importing new data just in case.

What format is used for import/export?

Tasks are saved and loaded as structured JSON. CSV export is available for simple spreadsheet use.

Can I transfer my tasks to another device?

Yes, export your tasks as JSON and import them into Kanba-DO on another browser or device.

Analytics & Insights

What does the Analytics panel show?

The Analytics panel provides charts and stats on task progress, tag usage, productivity over time, and warnings for overdue or idle tasks.

What are Snapshots?

Snapshots record your task counts by category and priority each day. They help you track performance trends over time.

What are Warnings?

Warnings highlight tasks that are overdue, stuck in DOING, or have too many tags. These help you find issues before they grow.

Can I download Analytics as PDF?

Yes, use the Export as PDF button in the Analytics panel to save your charts and insights. You can export the full dashboard or just one tab.

What is shown under Insights?

Insights break down completion times and patterns, helping you understand how fast or effectively youƒ?Tre working across tasks.

Settings & Customization

How do I switch languages?

How does dark mode work?
