To keep track of your tasks effectively, you need to pay attention to all the details. So when a task has a date, project, priority, label, set of sub-tasks, comments and more, it’s handy to manage everything in one place.

In this view, you can:

If you're viewing a sub-task, you will see its parent task above the task name. Click on the parent task's name to open it in task view.
If you're viewing a sub-task, click the sub-task indicator icon to view other sub-tasks below its parent task.
