Everything you need to know to create, track, and manage your Action Items with Strety


How to Create Action Items

Create a new Action Item from Quick Create or from a Team or your Person Action Item Space

Give your Action Item a Name and Description then assign a Primary Space, an Owner, a List and/or Priority (if desired) and add any other Subscribers (if needed).

Lastly, you can Link to an Integration if you'd like to integrate the To Do with a 3rd part platform

You can also add Action Items inline anywhere in the platform, including editing the Due Date and Owner by clicking inline

Duplicating Action Items

If you want to create the same Action Item for multiple people, click the Duplicate toggle and add everyone you need - Action Items will be created separately for each assignee


How to Share Action Items: Team vs Personal Action Items

An Action Item must always have a Primary Space. It can be a Team Space or a Person Space and can then be shared to any other spaces you have access to

Team Action Items

For any Action Item assigned within a Private Team Space we automatically share it with the owner's Person Space; this enables the assignee to see all their assigned Action Items from across all Teams in their Personal Overview Page

For items assigned to a Secret Team Space, Strety does not automatically share with the assignee's Person Space

Personal Action Items

For Action Items that are meant to be Personal you can set the Primary Team as your Personal Space and it will only be viewable by yourself and your manager(s).

Sharing Action Items with Multiple Team(s) or People

Share an Action Item with additional Team or Person Spaces by clicking the + sign beneath the Spaces shared with section

Sharing an Action Item makes makes it visible in those other Action Item lists - perfect for Action Items that impact multiple teams, so everyone can stay informed!


How to Create Action Item Lists

Action Item Lists are a great way to add organization to your Team or Personal Action Items. To add a list, click Create Action Item List from any Action Item page

New Action Items can be added inline within existing lists or added separately from a list. You can also drag & drop existing Action Items between and in/out of lists via the 6-dots to the left of the name

Note: Action Item Lists are space specific, so if an Action Item is assigned to a particular list in a team space, it can be assigned to a different list in any other space it is shared with, including your person space

Action Item List Templates

If you have set(s) of recurring or repeatable Action Items, create an Action Item List Template and cut down on the setup time! You can create a template from any existing list or via Adminland's Template page

To use an Action Item List Template click Create Action Item List from any space's to do page, then select Create Action Item List from Template


Kanban View

An added benefit of creating Action Item lists is displaying your Action Items in Kanban - or cards - view. Once you have your lists set-up, click View As Kanban, where you can drag & drop your Action Items from list to list

Here's a quick video to show you all the features available in Strety's Kanban view


How to Create a Checklist (Subtasks)

Add a Checklist to breakdown your Action Item into smaller subtasks:

Add items to begin populating your checklist

From both Kanban & List view, you'll see a visual representation of how many checklist subtasks have been completed:

How to Sync Strety Action Items w/ 3rd Party Integrations

For many Action Items that originate within Strety, the work happens somewhere else. In efforts to reduce duplicative work and meet people where they actually work, we have a growing list of platforms you can create, link, and bi-directionally sync Action Items with:

The best part is when those tasks or tickets are completed within those platforms, the Action Item will automatically complete back in Strety


How to Set Defaults for Linked Action Items

If you find yourself sending every Action Item you are assigned in Strety to the same 3rd party integration, set-up Default Linking and save yourself a lot of clicks!

Action Item Reporting

Check out our Pulse Report for more insights & summaries of all Action Items you have visibility into including:

  • Action Items Added & Resolved: A weekly breakdown of all added & resolved Action Items per Team. A great way to look back, especially after a busy week or some time off!

  • Action Items Currently Open: Filterable Action Item report by Teams & Assignees. Great for managers to see how much is on everyone's plate

  • Action Item Analysis: Comprehensive, filterable Action Item report to any Action Items that have been reassigned, have had their due dates pushed-out, growing stagnant, and that you assigned to other users
