A 2x2 matrix: sort tasks, notes and HubNext tasks into four quadrants. The classic version uses urgency and importance, but you can pick other axes or name them yourself.
Where to find it
Sidebar -> Tools -> Eisenhower Matrix. The section is enabled by the system administrator (the "Tools" module in the organization settings). The list shows all organization matrices, their access mode and who is editing a matrix right now.
Create a matrix
Click New matrix, enter a Title, then choose Access and Axes:
- Urgent / Not urgent x Important / Not important — the classic Eisenhower matrix;
- High impact / Low impact x Fast / Slow — an impact / time matrix;
- Custom axes — type your own names for the two columns (X axis) and two rows (Y axis); the axis name itself is optional. After picking a ready set you can still edit its names.
Access modes are the same as for the mind map: Shared — any employee can edit, Limited — managers and above only, others view. Title, access and axes are changed in Matrix settings (the gear) by the author or an administrator; the matrix can be deleted there too.
Editing
A matrix opens read-only. Click Edit: only one person edits a matrix at a time, others see who is working in it. Click Finish when done, or the matrix is released automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity. An administrator can Take over. Changes are saved automatically, Saved appears next to the title.
Each quadrant has two buttons:
- Text — a short note (Enter to save, Shift+Enter for a new line, Esc to cancel);
- Task — a HubNext task: find it by code or title, or narrow the list by project, subproject and tag. The card shows status, assignee and due date, clicking the code opens the task. If you have no access to the task's project, the card is shown grey as Task unavailable.
Cards are moved by dragging between quadrants and within a quadrant; hovering a card shows edit and delete buttons. Deleting a card does not delete the task.
