**Request:** Enhance Breww’s task management system to support equipment-linked tasks, improved mobile readability, and task prioritization/grouping—aligned with daily brewery operations. **Solution:** Suggestions to implement the following improvements to the task module: - **Task Linking to Equipment/Batches:** Enable tasks to be assigned to specific fermenters, vessels, or other equipment (similar to how batches are linked). - **Priority & Grouping System:** Add customizable priority levels and grouping tags. Support our system that uses coded categories for Production & Maintenance (e.g., `1. **Daily** `, `2. **Brew** `, `3. **Packaging** `, `6. **Cleaning** `, etc.). - **Sortable Columns & Custom Views:** Allow sorting/filtering in the task dashboard by: priority, group, assignee, status, date, etc. - **Improved Mobile UX:** Optimize layout and text wrapping for smaller screens to make daily task navigation fast and clear on mobile. - **Custom Task Display Format:** Use the following display fields: - `Priority | Grouping | Task name | Due | Status | Assignee | Equipment/Batch | Due Point | Actions (Update status, reschedule, add note)` Ideally the content of the note is visible under the task **Implementation:** - Extend the task data model to include: - `priority_level`, `grouping_tag`, and `linked_equipment_id` **Benefits:** - Makes Breww a **central task hub** —reducing the need for external tools like Notion, Slack Trello or similar (planning) tools - Ensures **daily operational clarity** for all team members, especially in fast-paced production and maintenance environments - Improves **accountability** by tying tasks directly to equipment/batches - Enables **prioritization and structured planning** , especially important in small teams with many roles - Ensures **mobile usability** for operators and technicians who work away from desks ### 🔧 **Proposed Task Dashboard Layout (Enhanced)** | **Priority** | **Category** | **Task Name** | **Due** | **Due Point** | **Status** | **Assignee(s)** | **Linked Equipment / Batch** | **Actions** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Daily | Daily Fermenter Report (FV) | 1 day overdue | Mon, 20 May 2025, 10:00 | 🔴 Overdue | KA, KP, RJ | FV-01 | ✅ ⟳ 📝 | | 2 | Brewing | Brew Batch IPA #232 (Main Brewhouse) | Scheduled | Tue, 21 May 2025, 08:00 | ⏳ Upcoming | KA, KT | Brewhouse, Batch #232 | ✅ ⟳ 📝 | | 3 | Packaging | Rotate Barrel Position (FV-F & G) | 1 week overdue | Mon, 12 May 2025, 10:00 | 🔴 Overdue | IE, KT, RK, MK | FV-F, FV-G | ✅ ⟳ 📝 | | 6 | Cleaning | Clean HLT | 4 days overdue | Fri, 16 May 2025 | 🔴 Overdue | AP, RJ | HLT | ✅ ⟳ 📝 | | 6 | Cleaning | Clean FV-02 After Racking | Due today | Mon, 20 May 2025, 16:00 | ⏳ Upcoming | RJ, IW | FV-02 | ✅ ⟳ 📝 | **Legend:** - **Priority** = Sortable number or color-coded level (1–9 or 1A–1C) (e.g., 1 = Urgent / Daily Ops, 9 = Low Priority) - **Category** = Task grouping (Daily, Brewing, Packaging, Maintenance, Cleaning, etc.) - **Linked Item / Batch** = Could be a dropdown from active assets (fermenters, vessels, brewhouse, keg washer, other equipment, barche, etc.) or manually added tags - **Actions** = Quick buttons: Mark complete (✓), Reschedule (⟳), Add note/edit (✎) ### 📲 **Mobile Optimization Notes** - On mobile, show condensed view: - **Sticky Header & Filters:** Add sort/filter buttons (top bar) to sort by: ### 🎯 Key Benefits of This Layout: - Teams instantly know _what matters most_ and _where_ the task is tied (batch, tank, area) - Reduces “app switching” by giving enough context within Breww itself - Scales well as the team grows and the number of tanks or SOPs expands - Works on both desktop and mobile without clutter ---

We’re pleased to announce a big update to our tasks feature that adds lots of functionality and improves usability on desktop & mobile devices. It includes lots functionality requested here 🎉 Find out more in the announcement at: > [@Sort, bulk-edit and reschedule your tasks more easily](https://community.breww.com/t/sort-bulk-edit-and-reschedule-your-tasks-more-easily/7262): > > Managing your to-do list in Breww just got faster. You can now sort tasks by due date or date created (or drag them into your own manual order), keep urgent tasks pinned to the top, update several tasks at once with new bulk actions, drag tasks to a new day straight from the calendar, and spin up a follow-up task when you complete a customer task. [Learn more](https://breww.com/docs/staff-tasks/). As this request is for many different features related to tasks, it doesn’t really fit our [feature request guidelines](https://community.breww.com/t/posting-ideas-feature-requests-for-breww/22#p-25-ive-got-lots-of-ideas-shall-i-post-one-big-request-3). I appreciate we’ve not implemented all of the suggestions here, but I’m going to mark this as complete. Please feel free to open new feature requests for specific extra additions that you’d still like to see. ---
