A little known (but amazingly powerful) feature of Goplan is the ability to mark any two things(*) as related by using tags. Example: Lets say you have a task, and want to associate it with maybe a couple of discussions and a couple of other tasks or files on Goplan. By associating these assets, you’d have direct links to the others when looking at each individually. Quite powerful indeed - and the best thing is, you can start using this functionality right now. Let me show you how:

Here’s what happens in the video: we’re creating a new task, and using the tagging functionality, we add tags for each of the items we want to “connect” the new task to. This is easy by using autocomplete. Type in a “d” and you get auto-completed discussion titles. Type in a “t” for tasks and tickets, etc. You can use the arrow keys to navigate suggestions, and enter to select one.

When we finally click to view the new task, you’ll see that the items we’ve selected are listed in the Related items section of the task view. Give this a try on your own accounts. Hope you like this tip!

(*) There’s virtually no limit to the number of things you can associate ;-)
