How do I complete tasks in Tallyfy?

Tallyfy provides two efficient methods for marking tasks complete, accommodating different workflow preferences and contexts:

  1. From list views (like Tasks or Tracker): Click the checkmark ✔️ icon to the left of the task name.
  2. From the task view: Open the task, then click the Complete button (usually bottom right). Complete button inside a task card

Once completed, the task’s status updates.

How can I reopen completed tasks?

When circumstances require undoing task completion or reactivating previously finished work, Tallyfy enables straightforward task reopening:

  1. Open the completed task.
  2. Click the Re-Open button. Re-Open button inside a completed task card

The task becomes active again.

How do I complete tasks that have subtasks (checklists)?

Some tasks might have a checklist form field acting like subtasks.

  1. Open the task containing the checklist.
  2. Check off subtasks as you complete them.
  3. Important: Note if the checklist has completion rules (set in the template):
    • If it requires ‘at least one’ item checked, make sure at least one box is checked.
    • If it requires ‘all items’ checked, make sure every box is checked.
  4. Once the checklist rules (and other required fields) are met, the main Complete button becomes available. Click it to complete the main task.

You can’t complete the main task until all its required fields, including any checklist requirements, are met. This validation ensures thorough task completion and maintains workflow integrity.

Tasks > Create and use subtasks

The checklist field type in Tallyfy allows you to break down tasks into smaller subtasks with checkboxes that users complete individually while providing validation rules to determine when the entire checklist is considered finished.

Tasks > Reopen task

The endpoint allows reopening completed tasks by using DELETE requests to restore them to an active state with proper authentication headers and supports both process-run tasks and standalone one-off tasks through distinct URL patterns.

How To > Ensure everyone in your team completes an approval or task

Tallyfy helps ensure task completion through automated reminders clear task definitions consolidated approvals comment-based follow-ups personal communication escalation paths and recognition strategies that combine digital tools with effective management practices.
