The Work Panel is the heart of Kaamfu’s task and project management system. It gives every organization a clear structure to plan, assign, and track work—all in one place. Whether you’re organizing entire departments or focusing on a single project, the Work Panel brings together structure and collaboration so that teams can stay aligned and productive.
.
🎯 Why This Feature Matters #
The Work Panel isn’t just about organizing tasks—it’s directly tied to one of Kaamfu’s biggest advantages: time tracking. Time tracking only works when tasks are properly created and assigned inside the Items subpanel. To get there, you must use the Work Panel to build the full hierarchy: Space Groups → Spaces → Board Groups → Boards → Item Groups → Items.
This means Kaamfu’s core USP—accurate, transparent time tracking—depends on how effectively you use the Work Panel. In other words, it is the foundation of work management inside Kaamfu.
Here are some of the key reasons it matters:
- It creates a structured hierarchy that keeps projects and tasks organized.
- It enables Kaamfu’s time tracking by ensuring tasks are correctly set up at the Item level.
- It centralizes communication by linking contextual chats directly to work.
By connecting structure, collaboration, and time tracking, the Work Panel ensures your organization gets the most value out of Kaamfu.
📍 Where to Find the Work Panel #
The Work Panel is located in the left navigation sidebar, alongside the Team Panel and the Activity Panel. These three panels form the backbone of Kaamfu’s interface. The Work Panel is your hub for creating and managing tasks, while the Team and Activity panels help you track people and workflows around those tasks.

Step 1: Create a Space Group #
Start by adding a new Space Group. This is the top-level container that usually represents departments or major functions in your organization.
Step 2: Add a Space #
Inside the Space Group, create a Space. Spaces help break down work into more focused areas such as teams, projects, or divisions.

Within each Space, add Board Groups. These act as categories that cluster related Boards together.
Step 4: Create Boards #
Next, create Boards inside the Board Groups. Boards are where projects and workflows are tracked.
Step 5: Add Item Groups #
Within each Board, create Item Groups to organize tasks by phase, priority, or category.
Step 6: Create Items #
Finally, add Items inside the Item Groups. These represent the actual tasks or deliverables assigned to team members.
By following these steps, you’ll see how the Work Panel allows you to go from high-level organization down to specific tasks, all within a structured and collaborative workspace.
