Features/ Task Management NEW

Tasks that
actually get done.

Most companies use Trello for HR, ClickUp for ops, Asana for projects, and WhatsApp for everything else. Garuda Tasks is built into the HR platform — same employee list, same notifications, same mobile app — so the things HR needs done actually land in the right inbox.

Why a task module in HR

Because most HR work is task work.

"Collect the new joiner's documents." "Process the F&F by Friday." "Update bank details for these 14 employees." "Renew the labour licence." "Distribute the Diwali bonus letters."

None of these belong in a project-management tool. All of them need to land on a specific person, with a date, with a reminder, and a record that they got done. Garuda Tasks puts them inside the system that already knows who works where.

Creating tasks

From anywhere on the platform.

The "+ New Task" button is in the topbar of every page. One click, one form, two seconds.

Multi-assignee

A single task can have several assignees. Each gets their own status; closed when all close, or when any closes — configurable.

Date + time picker

Same polished picker used across the platform — native on mobile, calendar overlay on desktop, never clipped inside a modal.

Reminders that fire

Three configurable reminders per task — daily, day-before, hour-before. Push, email, WhatsApp.

Sub-tasks

Break a big task into named sub-tasks; parent closes when all close. Three levels deep maximum — we cap to keep things sane.

Attachments

Photos, PDFs, spreadsheets — up to 25 MB per file. Visible to all assignees and watchers.

Watchers

CC people who don't own the work but want to know when it lands. Get notifications on status moves.

Non-operational owners

Need to assign to a consultant, vendor, or ex-employee retained part-time? They show in the picker, scoped to your control.

Editable forever

Owners can update the description, date, assignees, attachments — with full edit history visible to all.

Templates

Recurring tasks — PF challan, monthly payroll close, quarterly TDS — saved as templates, instantiated on a cron.

Three views, one dataset

List. Board. Calendar.

List

Sortable, filterable. Group by assignee, status, due-date, category. Power-user view — bulk-update, bulk-reassign.

Mobile-first

Most task-doers use the phone.

Open the app, see your tasks. Tap a task, see what's expected. Mark done, the reporter knows in real time. Snap a photo as proof. Add a quick comment. All offline-capable — syncs when the network's back.

  • Push notifications for new tasks, reminders, status changes
  • Voice notes — tap-and-hold to add a quick audio comment
  • Camera attach — capture photo proof inline, no upload step
  • Geo-stamp optional — mark a task as done at the customer site, with location
