Tasks Jr

Having a website is normally thought of as something that has a public purpose to promote yourself or an organisation. But this online space can also be used to help you be more efficient. Task Jr is an online task management program that runs on your webhosting account.

Installation is straightforward, although it would have been more helpful if there were instructions included in the download. To save you searching, the database details must be added to the database.php file before starting the installation wizard. Once that was done it worked perfectly.

The list of tasks is clean and efficient with icons for common tasks.

An important feature is that Task Jr can create sub-tasks, which helps organise your work. It is also possible to search tasks, so tasks should never get lost.

It is easy to edit tasks and there is plenty of space for notes in tasks. Deadlines can be set and there are handy buttons for quickly picking a deadline by a set time period. Percentage complete and priority can also be set.

There is no password protection of the todo lists so it would be a wise idea to password protect the folder on the webhost. This can be simple or complicated depending on your web host.

There are more capable versions available from Crowd Favorite that include more features and the ability to track tasks from more than one person. Charges vary depending on the number of users.
