==== About the task groups ====

The task groups categorizes the tasks by a given logic. Note that this is an alternative logic and is completely separated from the general task categorization made in the [[/website/task_management | task management page]]. In reports you can use this new logic to get the most precise informations you need. Furthermore the task groups helps in the automation.

For example:\\
You make 4-5 scheduled report for given tasks (individual, group leader daily-weekly and a monthly overall for the ceo).\\
If you have them in a task group you won't have to edit all report when a new task is made. Just add it to the task group and the reports filters the data immediately.
