Action Items

Action Items are the execution layer of TensorPM. Keep them current and the rest of the app (Guidance, Timeline, status) becomes more accurate.

Statuses and priorities

Common statuses:

  • Open
  • In Progress
  • Blocked
  • Completed

Priorities help you decide what to focus on first. If you use Guidance, priorities can be supported by checks and strategic reasoning.

Views

You can work with action items in different views:

  • List View: best for editing fields, selecting many items, and bulk actions
  • Kanban View: best for moving items across statuses
  • Priority View: best for focus and “what matters now”

In the Action Items header, these appear as tabs labeled:

  • "List View"
  • "Kanban View"
  • "Priority View"

Edit mode

In List View you can enable the toggle in the header to switch between "Use" and "Edit".

  • "Use": normal interaction mode
  • "Edit": enables selection and bulk actions

Practical workflow:

  • Open Action Items.
  • Click "List View".
  • Toggle from "Use" to "Edit".
  • Select the items you want to change.
  • Use bulk actions (including AI Quick Actions).

Tip: The header gear menu includes "Recurring Actions". In List View and Priority View it also offers a "Hide Completed" toggle.

Time tracking

If you track time, action items can show time-related data and can be started/stopped via controls in the UI.
