Using Auto-Splits in Hypertasks
Auto-Splits is a feature in Hypertasks that automatically organizes your inbox messages into different categories. This guide will explain what Auto-Splits are, how they work, and how to use them effectively.
What are Auto-Splits?
Auto-Splits are automatically created categories in your Hypertasks inbox that sort your messages based on certain criteria. There are two main types of Auto-Splits:
Project-specific Auto-Splits
Global Auto-Splits
Types of Auto-Splits
Project-specific Auto-Splits
For each project or board you have in Hypertasks, an automatic split is created. These splits contain messages related to their respective projects.
Global Auto-Splits
There are four global Auto-Splits that apply across all projects:
Updates: Shows tickets that have been moved to other columns.
Reactions: Displays comments that have received emoji reactions.
Important: Lists all direct comments.
All: Shows all messages in your inbox.
How Auto-Splits Work
Auto-Splits appear and disappear dynamically based on the presence of relevant messages. If there are no messages that fit a particular split's criteria, that split will not be visible in your inbox.
Navigating Auto-Splits
To navigate through Auto-Splits:
Press 'Tab' to move forward through the splits.
Press 'Shift + Tab' to move backward through the splits.
Use 'J' and 'K' to move up and down within a split.
Press 'Enter' to open a message.
Press 'E' to archive a message.
Using Auto-Splits Effectively
Start with Important: Begin by checking the 'Important' split for direct comments that may need immediate attention.
Check Updates: Review the 'Updates' split to see task movements across all projects.
Review Reactions: Look at the 'Reactions' split to see which comments have resonated with your team.
Address Project-Specific Splits: Go through each project-specific split based on your current priorities.
Finish with All: Scan the 'All' split to ensure you haven't missed any messages.
Tips for Using Auto-Splits
Process your inbox regularly to prevent message buildup.
Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate quickly between and within splits.
Remember that splits only appear when they contain messages. If you don't see a split, it means there are no relevant messages at that time.
