Find what's missing before it slows the project down
Hygiene checks count the open tasks that have a problem and let you filter the schedule to exactly those tasks, so keeping a project current takes minutes.
At a glance
A Hygiene menu on the Schedule counts open work with five kinds of problem: no description, overdue, over budget (more hours logged than planned), no hours planned, and not assigned. Pick one to filter the board or the list to those tasks. Finished work is never counted.
Five checks
Each check counts open work only.
- No description: the task has nothing written about what to do
- Overdue: the due date has passed and the work isn't finished
- Over budget: more hours logged than planned
- No hours planned: nothing to measure progress against
- Not assigned: nobody on the task, or an empty assignment slot
Filter, fix, clear
Click an issue and the schedule shows only those tasks.
- Works on the board and in Workamajig's own List view
- In List view, group headings stay for context
- A chip shows what's filtered, with a count of matches hidden by Hide Completed Tasks
- Clear it to see everything again
What it changes in Workamajig
Nothing. Hygiene checks only read the schedule. Fixing a task (adding a description, assigning someone) happens through the board or Workamajig's own screens.
You can only change what your own Workamajig permissions allow. MagicusPM never posts conversations for you.
Project Hygiene: common questions
Does filtering change the schedule?
No. The filter only changes what you see. Nothing is saved, and Workamajig's save indicator stays on saved.
Why does Overdue sometimes count more than I can see?
Some tasks are marked complete while an assignment on them is still open. The chip shows how many matches Hide Completed Tasks is hiding.
