# Task management

Task management in Librario bundles everything that happens around your publications and authority records (e.g. authors or editors): quality reviews, loan requests, error reports from colleagues, and general to-dos.
The Kanban board shows what is open and who owns it at all times, so [librarians and admins](/en/docs/administration/rollen#bibliothekarin) do not need a separate spreadsheet or ticket tool.

## Basic features and advanced task management

Task management comes in two tiers:

- **Basic features** (included in most plans): the four-column Kanban board, generic tasks, loan requests, error reports from colleagues, plus automatically detected duplicates, data quality summaries, and failed-import notices.
- **Advanced task management** (add-on available in some plans): quality reviews with automatic task creation after each import, recurring tasks (stocktake, cataloguing new journal issues, DIN standards maintenance), and due-date reminders.

To check which tier is enabled for your account, go to **Account → Subscription**.

## Where to start

- [The Kanban board](/en/docs/bibliothekswesen/aufgabenverwaltung/kanban-board) — How the four columns Open, In Progress, In Review, and Done work, what a task card shows, and how to filter, search, or switch to a list view.
- [Task types](/en/docs/bibliothekswesen/aufgabenverwaltung/aufgabentypen) — Quality review, loan request, error report, and generic tasks — when to pick which type and what the typical flow looks like.
- [Recurring tasks](/en/docs/bibliothekswesen/aufgabenverwaltung/wiederkehrende-aufgaben) — Define routines once and let Librario create the concrete tasks at the right time — with a frequency, due window, and owner.
- [Roles and permissions](/en/docs/administration/rollen) — Administrators and librarians can be assigned to tasks and use the Kanban board. Regular users only see their own loan requests and error reports.



> **Start small:**
> 
> You do not need to enable every task type at once. Begin with quality reviews on new imports — the most common case — and add loan requests and recurring tasks once the team accepts the workflow.
