Work Items

Work items are the core of Cornerstone. Each work item represents a task in your construction project -- from "Install kitchen cabinets" to "Schedule electrical inspection."

Overview​

Work items support:

  • Statuses -- Not Started, In Progress, Completed, or Blocked
  • Dates and scheduling -- Start dates, end dates, durations, and scheduling constraints
  • User assignment -- Assign tasks to any user on your instance
  • Areas -- Hierarchical location assignment (e.g., "Ground Floor > Kitchen")
  • Notes -- Timestamped comments with author attribution
  • Subtasks -- Checklist items within a work item
  • Dependencies -- Relationships between work items (what must happen before or after)
  • Document links -- Attach documents from Paperless-ngx (contracts, receipts, plans)

List View​

The work items list page provides:

  • Search -- Full-text search with debounced input for fast results
  • Filtering -- Filter by status, assigned user, area, or budget status
  • Sorting -- Sort by title, status, start date, end date, created date, or updated date
  • Pagination -- Paginated results for large projects
  • Responsive layout -- Table view on desktop, card view on mobile and tablet

All filter and sort settings are synced to the URL, so your view is bookmarkable and shareable.
