Miscellaneous

Features that don't warrant their own top-level heading.

This page holds the smaller things that do not need a guide of their own. A few topics that used to live here have grown into their own guides:

Your preferences

Control Panel, Preferences

Timezone

Each user picks a time zone in Settings → Preferences (under Language & Region). Each workspace has a default. Dates and times display in user's local time while referring to the same underlying moment.

Calendars, due-date reminders, automation schedules, notifications all respect the time zone.

Document reminders

Scenarios:

• "Review this spec in a month."
• "Check whether this decision still makes sense in 6 months."
• "Follow up on this customer call in 2 weeks."

Shift dates

For sliding a whole project later or earlier. Select multiple items, then click Shift dates in the bulk action bar.

Options:

• Shift by N days (positive or negative).
• Start from a date: pick a new start date from the calendar and every item moves by the same offset, keeping the gaps between them. The date field opens the same premium calendar used elsewhere in the app.
• Skip weekends (so a 7-day shift only moves 5 working days).
• Exclude completed items (so done items don't move).
• Choose which date column to shift (if the board has more than one).

Live preview before committing, with colour-coded direction arrows: a green up-right arrow and green new dates when items move forward (later), an amber down-right arrow and amber dates when they move backward (earlier). Undo toast after applying.

Scenarios:

• Project delayed by a week: shift all open items by 7 days.
• Holiday season: shift everything due Dec 23-Jan 2 to early January.
• Customer pushed launch: shift the dependent items, skip weekends.

Conditional formatting

Rules that highlight rows or cells based on column values.

Rule examples:

• "Make the row red if Status = Stuck."
• "Bold the assignee if Priority = High."
• "Background yellow if Due date < today + 3 days."
• "Green text on Budget remaining if > 50%."
• "Strikethrough title if Status = Done."

Configure per board from the Format button (the paintbrush) in the board toolbar.

Recurring templates

A recurring template creates a new item on a schedule.

Schedules supported:

• Daily.
• Weekly (pick day of week).
• Monthly (pick day of month).
• Quarterly.
• Annually.

Configuration:

• Template item (the prototype to copy).
• Schedule.
• Target group on the board.
• Date column to set (today, today + N days).

Scenarios:

• Every Monday morning, create a "Weekly stand-up notes" item in the Notes board.
• First of every month, create an "Invoice client X" item in the Billing board.
• Every quarter, create a "Roadmap review" item.
• Annually, create a "License renewal" item with the contract end date.

Trash

Almost nothing you delete disappears on the spot: tasks, boards, notebook pages and diagrams go to the Recycle Bin, where you can restore them or remove them for good.

CSV import

Bringing a spreadsheet in is one of several ways to get existing work into Gript, alongside the wizards for monday.com, Trello, Asana, Jira, ClickUp and another Gript workspace. They all live in Control Panel, then Data Migration.

Exporting a board

Open a board More menu and choose Export, or right-click the board in the sidebar and choose Export to get there without opening it first. Both open the same window, with a live preview of every format.

Public REST API

Programmatic access via /api/v1 endpoints. Useful for integrations, syncing, automating what Gript doesn't do natively.

Available endpoints: boards, items, columns, groups, notebooks, notifications, update links (with their audit log), and webhooks.

Authentication: Bearer token.

1. Settings → API Keys → + New key.
1. Name and Generate.
1. Copy the key (you'll see it once).
1. Use in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Webhooks subscribe you to events (item created/updated/deleted, board changes). They are managed through the API itself (the webhooks endpoint), not a settings page.

API docs at /api-docs.

Scenarios:

• Sync to your CRM: webhook fires when a deal becomes Won; your backend creates the customer record.
• Daily reports to Slack: a cron in your environment hits the API, builds a report, posts to Slack.
• Cross-system updates: when a Jira issue is closed, your backend calls the Gript API to update the linked item.
• Custom integrations: anything Zapier or Make doesn't cover.

Ownership transfer

Workspace owner can transfer ownership to another member. Go to Settings → Members → Admins, start the transfer, and pick the recipient. They get an email with an accept link.

Until they accept, you remain owner. Once they accept, you become admin and they become owner.

Scenarios:

• Founder steps away; CTO takes over the workspace.
• Workspace was set up by an admin assistant; transferring to the actual department head.
• Company restructure; new department head needs workspace ownership.

Org structure

Control Panel, Members, Org Structure

Org chart

To see how the workspace is organised, open Control Panel, then Members, then Org Structure.

Common questions

Can I run the REST API against a sandbox? Not currently. API hits your live workspace.

How do I rate-limit my own integration? Stay under 100 requests per minute per key. Heavy use can be throttled.

Can I bulk-edit via CSV? Not directly; CSV import creates new items. For bulk edits, use the table view multi-select.
