How to manage tasks and subtasks in table format for those who prefer spreadsheet style

Table-based task management is the row-and-column view of tasks and subtasks, with direct filters by owner and deadline, for those who don't adapt well to Kanban boards. In Jestor, this template keeps the dashboard and Kanban as alternatives, without forcing anyone to switch formats.

Why not every team adapts to Kanban

Anyone coming from spreadsheets misses a row-and-column view, without needing to click into every card to find information.

Full table: lists all tasks, with expandable subtasks.
Direct filters: by deadline, user, and priority.
Dashboard: progress by chart and by indicator (in progress, completed, stalled, archived).
Calendar: tasks and subtasks organized by date.

Available view	Who it's for
Full table	Those who prefer rows and columns, coming from spreadsheets
Kanban	Those who prefer tracking by priority in cards
Dashboard and calendar	Overview of progress and deadlines

How to use table-based task management in Jestor

Open the full table: all tasks in rows and columns.
Click on a task: its linked subtasks appear automatically.
Filter by deadline, user, and priority: adjusting the criteria freely.
Track the dashboard: progress charts by indicator.
Switch to the calendar: to see tasks and subtasks by date.

How to configure it in Jestor: install the task management template and use the table view as the default; Kanban remains available as an alternative, automatically organized by high, medium, and low priority.

Why choose Jestor for teams coming from spreadsheets?

Jestor doesn't force anyone to "learn Kanban" to manage tasks — the same underlying data feeds the table, Kanban, dashboard, and calendar at once, so each person on the team can use the view they prefer without losing sync with the rest of the team.

Can two color conditionals be applied at the same time to a single indicator?

How to make app icons in the side menu show up with no background color for a minimalist look?

In Jestor's side menu, you can turn off the colored background behind app icons, leaving only the icon visible — a more minimalist look for anyone who prefers a cleaner menu. Why does removing the icon background change the menu experience? By default, every app icon in the side

Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?

Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it. Why does a background image without blur
